دهْرُنا أضحى ضنيناً

دهْرُنا أضحى ضنيناً

باللقا حتى ضَنينا

باللقا حتى ضَنينا

Our time has grown miserly

Our life has become most unendurable

with reunion, until we have wasted away.

even with a fleeting encounter, so unendurable

يا ليالي الوصلِ عودي

يا ليالي الوصلِ عودي

واجْمعينا أَجْمَعينا

واجْمعينا أَجْمَعينا

O nights of union, return,

O nights of union, return,

and gather us together, all of us.

and unite us in complete union
