1. Where the singers are, a beloved has increased my longing
Whether the abode of passion becomes my abode or we settle
١. حَيْثُ المَغَاني حَبِيبٌ زَادَني شَجَنَا
إِنْ حَلَّ دارَ الهَوَى دَارَى وإنْ سَكَنَا
2. By Allah, my heart has not settled after his separation
Yearning to see him for a moment or be calmed
٢. واللَّه ما قَرَّ قَلْبِي بَعْدَ فُرْقَتِهِ
شَوْقاً لِرُؤْيَتهِ حِيناً ولا سَكَنَا
3. Woe to him for calming me, if my insomnia had gone
Or stilled my restlessness, woe to him for calming me
٣. وَاهاً لَهُ سَكَناً لَوْ أذْهَبَت أَرَقِي
أوْ سَكَّنَتْ قَلَقِي وَاهاً لَهُ سَكَنا
