أَبُثُّكِ مابي فَإن تَرحَمي

أَبُثُّكِ مابي فَإن تَرحَمي

رَحِمتِ أَخا لَوعَةٍ ماتَ حُبّا

رَحِمتِ أَخا لَوعَةٍ ماتَ حُبّا

I confide to you what ails me; if you show mercy,

I confide in you what grieves me, so have mercy

You will have pitied a man in anguish who died of love.

On a brother whose love led him to death

وَأَشكو النَوى ما أَمَرَّ النَوى

وَأَشكو النَوى ما أَمَرَّ النَوى

على هائِمٍ إِن دَعا الشَوقُ لَبّى

على هائِمٍ إِن دَعا الشَوقُ لَبّى

And I lament separation—how bitter separation is

And I complain of the times that have passed

For a lovesick wanderer who answers whenever longing calls!

To one bewildered, if longing calls he responds

وَاِخشى عَلَيكِ هبوبَ النَسيم

وَاِخشى عَلَيكِ هبوبَ النَسيم

وَإن هُوَ من جانِبِ الرَوضِ هبا

وَإن هُوَ من جانِبِ الرَوضِ هبا

And I fear for you when the breeze blows,

And I fear for you the blowing of the breeze

Even if it blows from the garden's side.

That comes from the garden carrying scents

وَأَستَغفِرُ اللَه من بُرهَةٍ

وَأَستَغفِرُ اللَه من بُرهَةٍ

منَ العُمرِ لم تَلقَني فيكِ صَبّا

منَ العُمرِ لم تَلقَني فيكِ صَبّا

And I seek God's forgiveness for any span

And I ask God’s forgiveness for a time

Of my life when you did not find me lovesick for you.

Of life when youth did not find me with you

تعالَي نُجَدِّد زمانَ الهناءِ

تعالَي نُجَدِّد زمانَ الهناءِ

وَنَنهَب لياليَهُ الغُرَّ نَهبا

وَنَنهَب لياليَهُ الغُرَّ نَهبا

Come, let us renew the time of bliss,

Come let us renew the days of joy

And plunder its radiant nights to the full.

And plunder their nights relentlessly

تعالي أَذُق بكِ طعمَ السَلام

تعالي أَذُق بكِ طعمَ السَلام

وَحسبي وَحسبُكِ ما كان حربا

وَحسبي وَحسبُكِ ما كان حربا

Come, let me taste the flavor of peace through you;

Come let me taste through you the savor of peace

And you and I have had enough of the war that was.

You and I have had enough of war
