بِإحْدى هذِه الخيْماتِ جارَهْ

بِإحْدى هذِه الخيْماتِ جارَهْ

تَرى هجْرِي وتعْذِيبي تِجَارَهْ

تَرى هجْرِي وتعْذِيبي تِجَارَهْ

In one of these tents dwells a neighbor,

In one of these tents my neighbor

She regards shunning me and tormenting me as a trade.

Sees my abandonment and torment as merchandise

وكَمْ نادَيْتُ يا هذِي ارْحَمِينَا

وكَمْ نادَيْتُ يا هذِي ارْحَمِينَا

فلسْنا بالحَدِيدِ ولا الحِجَارَهْ

فلسْنا بالحَدِيدِ ولا الحِجَارَهْ

And how often I have cried, 'O you, have mercy on us!'

And how often I called out, "Oh you, have mercy on us!"

For we are neither iron nor stone.

For we are not made of iron or stone

سَلِي في مُلتقَى الخْيليْنِ زَحْفا

سَلِي في مُلتقَى الخْيليْنِ زَحْفا

إذا سألَ الردى مني الإجَارَهْ

إذا سألَ الردى مني الإجَارَهْ

Ask at the clash of the two advancing cavalry hosts,

Ask the two cavalry regiments as they march

When Death asks me for protection.

When misfortune asks me for payment

هنالكَ تعْرِفينَ خَطِيرَ قَدْري

هنالكَ تعْرِفينَ خَطِيرَ قَدْري

وتَسْترْضينَ منْ حُر نِجَارَهْ

وتَسْترْضينَ منْ حُر نِجَارَهْ

There you will recognize my great worth,

There you will know the gravity of my situation

And seek to please one whose lineage is noble.

And be satisfied by the skill of the carpenter
