أيا من تغير لي قلبه

أيا من تغير لي قلبه

بحبكِ قلبيَ فما ذنبهُ

بحبكِ قلبيَ فما ذنبهُ

O you whose heart has changed toward me,

O you who changed his heart for me

because my heart loves you—what is its fault?

With your love my heart what wrong did it do

ويا سيدي ظالماً والذي

ويا سيدي ظالماً والذي

تمنيتُ من ربهِ قربه

تمنيتُ من ربهِ قربه

And O my unjust master, whose

And O my lord unjustly and He whom

nearness I have wished for from his Lord:

I wished from his Lord to be near Him

يبيتُ يلذُّ الكرى طرفهُ

يبيتُ يلذُّ الكرى طرفهُ

ويمنعُ طرفي الكرى حبُّهُ

ويمنعُ طرفي الكرى حبُّهُ

He spends the night, sleep delighting his eyes,

He spends the night delighting his eye

and love for him denies my eyes sleep.

And his love prevents my eye from delight

سروريَ أن لا يذوقَ الضنى

سروريَ أن لا يذوقَ الضنى

وأن لا يعاقبهُ ربُّهُ

وأن لا يعاقبهُ ربُّهُ

My joy is that he should not taste wasting illness,

My happiness is that he tastes no sorrow

and that his Lord should not punish him.

And that his Lord does not punish him
