1. When people talked and wished around me,
I was alone with you in their midst, alone.
١. إِذا النَّاسُ كانوا في الأَحاديثِ وَالمُنى
خَلَوتُ بِنَفسي فيك مِن بَينِهِم وَحدي
2. I intentionally distract myself from you,
Yet my eyes keep looking to you constantly.
٢. أحيدُ بِنَفسي عَنكِ عَمداً وَفي الحشا
إِلَيك عُيونٌ ما بَرِحنَ عَنِ القَصدِ
3. O you, in whose hands is my life and death,
For whom I have nothing if I pass away,
٣. فَيا مَن بِكَفَّيهِ حَياتي وَمُنيَتي
وَمَن لَيسَ لي مِنهُ وَإِن متُّ مِن بُدِّ
4. Relieve me of myself with a quick death,
I sacrifice myself for you, or give rest to my heart from effort.
٤. أَرِحني مِن نَفسي بِمَوت مُعَجَّل
فَديتُكَ أَو نائي الفُؤادَ مِنَ الجَهدِ
