يا غُضُناً مائِساً بَينَ الرِّياطْ

يا غُضُناً مائِساً بَينَ الرِّياطْ

ما لي بَعدَكَ بالعَيْشِ اغْتِباطْ

ما لي بَعدَكَ بالعَيْشِ اغْتِباطْ

O bough swaying amid the robes!

O withered branch amid the meadows green,

Without you, I find no delight in life.

Without you I take no joy in life serene.

يا مَنْ إِذا ما بَدا لي مَاشِياً

يا مَنْ إِذا ما بَدا لي مَاشِياً

وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ لَهُ خَدِّي بِساطْ

وَدِدْتُ أَنَّ لَهُ خَدِّي بِساطْ

O you—whenever you appeared before me walking,

When you appear before me on your way,

I wished my cheek were a carpet for you.

I long to spread my cheek for you to tread.

تَتْرُكُ عَيْناهُ مَنْ أَبْصَرَهُ

تَتْرُكُ عَيْناهُ مَنْ أَبْصَرَهُ

مُخْتَلطَاً عَقلُهُ كُلَّ اخْتِلاطْ

مُخْتَلطَاً عَقلُهُ كُلَّ اخْتِلاطْ

His eyes leave whoever beholds him

Your eyes leave stunned whoever dares to look;

With their mind in utter confusion.

Bewildered wits, all reason they forsook.

قُلْتُ مَتَى نَلْتَقي يَا سَيِّدي

قُلْتُ مَتَى نَلْتَقي يَا سَيِّدي

قالَ غَداً نَلْتَقي عِنْدَ الصِّراطْ

قالَ غَداً نَلْتَقي عِنْدَ الصِّراطْ

I said, “When shall we meet, O my master?”

I asked, “When will we meet, my master dear?”

He said, “Tomorrow we shall meet at the Sirat bridge.”

“Tomorrow we shall meet beside the Bridge,” you said.
