قاسيتُ أوجاعاً وأحزانا

قاسيتُ أوجاعاً وأحزانا

لَمَّا اسْتَخَصَّ الموتُ هَيْلانا

لَمَّا اسْتَخَصَّ الموتُ هَيْلانا

I suffered pains and sorrows

I suffered pains and sorrows

When death claimed Haylana for itself.

When death chose Haylan as its victim

فارقتُ عَيْشي حينَ فارقتُها

فارقتُ عَيْشي حينَ فارقتُها

فَما أُبالي كَيْفَ ما كَانا

فَما أُبالي كَيْفَ ما كَانا

I parted from my life when I parted from her,

I lost my life when I lost her

So I do not care what becomes of it.

So I care not what may happen

في قَبْرِها فَارَقْتُ دنيانا

She was the world itself; and when she lay at rest

She was my life, and when she passed away

In her grave, I parted from our world.

And was buried in her grave, I lost my world

Many people there may be, but I

See no human being after you.

See no human after you

واللهِ لا أنساكِ ما حَرَّكَتْ

رِيحٌ بأعلى نَجْدِ أَغْصَانا

رِيحٌ بأعلى نَجْدِ أَغْصَانا

By God! I'll not forget you while

A wind stirs branches on the heights of Najd.

The winds stir branches in Najd's heights
