أُعَلِّقُ قَلبي بِالأَحاديثِ بَعدَكُم

أُعَلِّقُ قَلبي بِالأَحاديثِ بَعدَكُم

وَأَصرِفُ لَحظي عَن مُحَدِّثِهِ عَمدا

وَأَصرِفُ لَحظي عَن مُحَدِّثِهِ عَمدا

I attach my heart to tales after you have gone,

I hang my heart on tales of you after you've gone

And deliberately turn my gaze from the one speaking to it.

And turn my gaze from their teller, deliberately

وَأَسأَلُهُ رَدَّ الأَحاديثِ عَلَّهُ

وَأَسأَلُهُ رَدَّ الأَحاديثِ عَلَّهُ

سُؤالٌ وَأُخفي دَمعَةً تَفضَحُ الوَجدا

سُؤالٌ وَأُخفي دَمعَةً تَفضَحُ الوَجدا

And I ask him to repeat the tales; he is distracted by

And ask that he return the tales, hoping

A question, while I hide a tear that betrays my longing.

My request hides a tear betraying my torment
