ياO خليuntroubled الذرعin spirit منby شجنيmy sorrow
يا خلي الذرع من شجني
انماonly اشكوI complain لترحمنيso that you may pity me
انما اشكو لترحمني
O you untroubled by my sorrow,
O my friend, cease your reproaches,
I complain only so that you may pity me.
I complain only that you may show me mercy.
منعُكَyour withholding الميسورَwhat is easy to give يؤيسنيmakes me despair
منعُكَ الميسورَ يؤيسني
وقليلُand a little اليأسِdespair يقتلنيkills me
وقليلُ اليأسِ يقتلني
Your withholding what is easy to give makes me despair,
Your refusal of my slight wishes disheartens me,
And a little despair kills me.
And a little despair kills me.
Sol 6.1
