يا من جفاني بغير ذنب

يا من جفاني بغير ذنب

حسبي منك الصدود حسبي

حسبي منك الصدود حسبي

O you who shunned me without fault,

O you who spurned me without fault

I have had enough of your turning away—enough!

Your rejection is enough, enough for me

مر بي بما شئت وارع قربي

مر بي بما شئت وارع قربي

إن هواك الذي بقلبي

إن هواك الذي بقلبي

Command me as you wish, and cherish my nearness.

Pass by me as you wish, but spare my nearness

Indeed, the love for you within my heart

For the love of you that's in my heart

صيرني سامعا مطيعا

صيرني سامعا مطيعا

يا من سباني بحسن طرف

يا من سباني بحسن طرف

has made me attentive and obedient.

Has made me an obedient listener

O you who captivated me with a beautiful gaze,

O you who captivated me with a glance

سلبت عقلي بلين عطف

سلبت عقلي بلين عطف

يكفيك ما بي صنعت يكفي

يكفيك ما بي صنعت يكفي

you stole my reason with your supple form.

You stole my reason with your gentle grace

Enough of what you have done to me—enough!

What you've done to me is enough, enough

اخذت عقلي ونوم طرفي

اخذت عقلي ونوم طرفي

سلبتني العقل والهجوعا

سلبتني العقل والهجوعا

You took my reason and the sleep from my eyes;

You took my reason and the sleep of my eyes

you robbed me of reason and slumber.

You robbed me of reason and serenity

يا من نكى في الهوى فؤادي

يا من نكى في الهوى فؤادي

يا غاية القصد والمراد

يا غاية القصد والمراد

O you who wounded my heart in love,

O you who disappointed my heart in love

O ultimate goal of my seeking and desire,

O object of my quest and desire

اطلت يوم النوى سهادي

اطلت يوم النوى سهادي

فخذ فؤادي ودع رقادي

فخذ فؤادي ودع رقادي

you prolonged my sleeplessness on the day of parting.

The day of intent my passion was long

So take my heart, and leave me my sleep.

So take my heart and leave my slumber

فقال لا بل هما جميعا

فقال لا بل هما جميعا

فرحت والقلب في يديه

فرحت والقلب في يديه

Then he said, "No—rather, both together."

But he said no, I'll take them both

So I went away, my heart in his hands,

I rejoiced with my heart in his hands

وبت اهدي الكرى اليه

وبت اهدي الكرى اليه

وصرت طوع الهوى لديه

وصرت طوع الهوى لديه

and spent the night offering him slumber.

And I began to offer wreaths to him

And I became subject to love in his presence.

And I became obedient to his love

وراح مني بحال تيه

وراح مني بحال تيه

ورحت من هجره صريعا

ورحت من هجره صريعا

And he departed from me in a state of arrogance,

And he left me in a lost state

and I was left stricken by his abandonment.

And I became love-sick from his abandonment
