غريب الدار ومناي التسلي

غريب الدار ومناي التسلي

أسلي خاطري عن حب خلي

أسلي خاطري عن حب خلي

A stranger far from home, I long for solace.

Stranger of home and my comfort in hardship

I distract my mind from love for my beloved.

Let me comfort my soul from love's ache

سمعت الشور من قاصر معرفه

سمعت الشور من قاصر معرفه

يحسب البعد عن داره يسلي

يحسب البعد عن داره يسلي

I heeded advice from one with little knowledge.

I heard the song from one with little knowledge

He thinks distance from his home brings solace.

Who thinks distance from home brings comfort

أسافر عنه من ديره لديره

أسافر عنه من ديره لديره

عساي اسلاه لكن ما حصلي

عساي اسلاه لكن ما حصلي

I travel away from him, from land to land.

I travel from monastery to monastery

Hoping I might forget him, but I could not.

Maybe it would comfort me, but it didn't happen

أهوجس فيه وأنسى إني نسيته

أهوجس فيه وأنسى إني نسيته

وأفكر في ليالي(ن) قد مضن لي

وأفكر في ليالي(ن) قد مضن لي

I dwell on him and forget that I had forgotten him.

I obsess over him and forget I forgot him

And I think of nights I have lived through.

And think of nights that have passed me by

وأنا لاجيت أبنساه إلتوابي

وأنا لاجيت أبنساه إلتوابي

خياله وأنهمر دمعي يهلي

خياله وأنهمر دمعي يهلي

And whenever I try to forget him, I am enfolded

When I come to, I forget him in my repentance

By his image, and my tears pour down freely.

His imagination makes my tears flow

وأشوفه واقف(ن) من دون دمعي

وأشوفه واقف(ن) من دون دمعي

حبيب القلب في عيني يهلي

حبيب القلب في عيني يهلي

And I see him standing in front of my tears,

And I see him standing without my tears

My heart's beloved, greeting me within my eye.

Beloved of the heart appears in my eyes

دعاني ياغريب الدار عوّد

دعاني ياغريب الدار عوّد

ترى مالك محل إلا محلي

ترى مالك محل إلا محلي

He called to me: “O stranger far from home, return.

He called me, stranger of home, get used to it

You see, you have no place but mine.

You have no place but my place

مكانك في عيوني ياعيوني

مكانك في عيوني ياعيوني

وقلبي من غرامك مايملي

وقلبي من غرامك مايملي

Your place is in my eyes, O my eyes,

Your place is in my eyes, my eyes

And my heart never tires of loving you.”

And my heart from love of you won't be full
