1. امسح الدمعة ترى ضعفك قوي

    انهزم قدام ضعفك ياغلاي

    Wipe away the tear; know that your weakness is strong.

    I am defeated before your weakness, my dearest.

  2. امسح الدمعة بعمري لو تبي

    عطني احزانك وخذ مني هناي

    Wipe away the tear with my life, if you wish.

    Give me your sorrows, and take my joy from me.

  3. امسح الدمعة قبل تقضي علي

    دمعتك تغرق صباحي في مساي

    Wipe away the tear before it finishes me off.

    Your tear drowns my morning in my evening.

  4. لاتروع مثل روعات الظبي

    روعتك ياروعة ايامي بلاي

    Do not take fright like a gazelle.

    Your fright, O wonder of my days, is my affliction.

  5. كل ليلٍ مع نهارك ينجلي

    يابدايات الهوى يامنتهاي

    Every night fades with the coming of your day.

    O love's beginnings, O my final destination.

  6. ياوطن قلبي وغربة ناظري

    ياحتياري ياصوابي ياخطاي

    O homeland of my heart and exile of my gaze.

    O my bewilderment, O my right, O my wrong.

  7. يابنات الفكر غني وارقصي

    عند خلي وانشدي له من غناي

    O daughters of thought, sing and dance

    Beside my beloved, and sing him some of my songs.

  8. واسعي صدر الحبيب واطربي

    طربتي له كلما ذعذع هواي

    Gladden the beloved's heart, and sing

    My rapture for him whenever my love's breeze stirs.
