1. The rain clouds wept tears of sorrow
Black were the eyes that were scattered and confused
١. جهّى مطر دمع السحاب المجاهيم
سود العيون اللي انتثر وبلهنه
2. The lance of the north that stabbed the heart of the clouds
Split the clouds and the sun shone through
٢. رمح الشمال اللي طعن مهجة الغيم
شق السحاب وسالت الشمس منه
3. When its tears deceived me as if it were blood
Fear crept into my anxious heart
٣. ساعة غشاني دمعها كنه الديم
دب الوجل في المهجة المرجهنه
4. And I started to endure with patience and incantations
Some of me speaks of fear and some of it hides
٤. وقمت اتذرى بالصبر والتعازيم
بعضي يبوح الخوف وبعضي يكنه
5. I called upon her, the one who helps the oppressed
You and no other are the remedy for my afflicted heart
٥. ناديتها واللي يغيث المظاليم
انك ولا غيرك لقلبي مضنه
6. If the envious say otherwise, I wander
I do not hope for affliction from my enemy
٦. ان قالوا الحساد داله وانا .. اهيم
ما نيب انا ارجي من عدوي محنه
7. She said: be steadfast; and I said: with tricks I resist
There is no homeland; and the eyes of loved ones are far
٧. قالت تشد .. وقلت بالحيل باقيم
ما في الوطن .. وعيون الاحباب منه
8. A smile of longing.. of love.. of surrender
My beloved.. unless the enemy is disappointed
٨. تبسمت شوقٍ .. بحبٍ .. بتسليم
حبيبتي .. والا العدو خاب ظنه
