ياO ماءُwater روحيmy spirit فيon المسيرthe journey وراحتيand my comfort
يا ماءُ روحي في المسير وراحتي
As long as I live, I shall offer you praise—were you not,
As long as I live, I will never praise another
O water, my spirit on the journey and my comfort?
O water of my soul on journeys and in rest
لفراقكbecause of parting from you التهبblazed الفؤادthe heart فهاso here أناI
لفراقك التهب الفؤاد فها أنا
أحسوI sip لأطفئهto extinguish it فأملأand I fill راحتيmy palm
أحسو لأطفئه فأملأ راحتي
Parting from you set my heart ablaze; so here I am,
For your absence, my heart is aflame, so here I am
Sipping to quench it, and filling my palm.
Yearning to extinguish it and fill my rest
