هواكِ أصبحَ نَسْياً

هواكِ أصبحَ نَسْياً

كلوعتي مَنْسيّا

كلوعتي مَنْسيّا

My love for you has become a thing forgotten,

Your love has become forgotten

forgotten, like my anguish.

My yearning forgotten

قد كان شُغلاً لقلبي

قد كان شُغلاً لقلبي

فصار قلبي خليّا

فصار قلبي خليّا

It had been my heart’s preoccupation,

It was once my heart's preoccupation

then my heart became free.

Now my heart is empty

كأنَّ حلوَ الأَماني

كأنَّ حلوَ الأَماني

والوصلِ لم تكُ شياً

والوصلِ لم تكُ شياً

As though the sweetness of hopes

As if the sweet dreams

and of union had been nothing.

And union were nothing

مسحتُ آثارَ حُبّ

مسحتُ آثارَ حُبّ

كانت على شفتيّا

كانت على شفتيّا

I wiped away the traces of love

I wiped away the traces of love

that had been upon my lips.

That were on my lips

فيا جفونُ استقرّي

فيا جفونُ استقرّي

عاد الرّقادُ شهيّا

عاد الرّقادُ شهيّا

So, O eyelids, be still:

So eyelids, be still

sleep has returned, sweet once more.

Sleep has become wonderful again

وأرقصْ على حبّ ليلا

وأرقصْ على حبّ ليلا

ك يا فؤادُ مليّا

ك يا فؤادُ مليّا

And dance upon the love of your Layla,

And dance, my heart, at night's love

O heart, for a long while.

Be full, oh my heart
