أبصروا دمعي فخافوا

أبصروا دمعي فخافوا

قلتُ لا تخشَوا بكائي

قلتُ لا تخشَوا بكائي

They saw my tears and grew afraid.

They saw my tears and were afraid

I said, “Do not fear my weeping;

I said don't be afraid of my crying

ما عليكمْ منْ دموعي

ما عليكمْ منْ دموعي

غيرُ أمطارِ السماءِ

غيرُ أمطارِ السماءِ

nothing falls upon you from my tears

You have nothing to do with my tears

but the rains of the sky.”

Except the rain from the sky
