1. Pass by us, oh morning breeze of Nejd
And convey my tears and my love's ardour

2. I've become restless, my longing so immense
More intense is my yearning, longing so immense

3. My eyes flow with tears down my cheeks
And my tears flow down upon my cheek

4. I can't forget, though days bring us together
As if I'm in the eternal paradise

5. She complains like I complain of passion and if
I confide in her, she responds as I confide

6. And is mindful of the estrangement when
The pain of estrangement weighs upon my heart

7. And when I cry, her tears flow down
Flowing down like dew drops on roses at dawn

8. My heart - and life holds no more hopes
As long as you remain lit, O my heart

9. Can it be that all who fall in love die of sorrow
Or have I alone felt this sorrow so immense

10. Ask the stage of tranquility, as the doe did
That deer missed me after our parting

11. How I yearned for her, and how faithful I was
If only my yearning after her made a difference

12. And how I safeguarded my love for her
After we parted, she forgot my love

13. What has befallen you, after she glanced at you
And winked deliberately with her eyes at you

14. Or how she forbade you, on the island
From startling the deer or wrestling the lions

15. And showed you eyes sheathed like a sword
Unsheathed from its scabbard, sharp and immense

16. Your love has wounded my liver, if only
I knew love would wound me so deep

17. O heart, why do I not grieve for him
After I lost him, except for losing him

18. Convey your greetings, O morning breeze
One day, you may return them to me

19. And sympathize with the nearness of the abode
Its companions bore my absence with patience

20. O Ghadah, keep your vows to her
Are you still true to your vows to me

21. I have become restless in my heart, if only
My heart would aid me in my fervent love
