1. يا قصيدة عمري اللي تكتبيني

    كل يوم حرف من نغمة هواك

    O poem of my life, you who write me,

    Each day, a letter from the melody of your love.

  2. ارحميني يالهوى والا اذبحيني

    لا تخليني معلق في سماك

    Have mercy on me, O love, or else slay me;

    Do not leave me suspended in your sky.

  3. كل ما اخذتي عمر مني عطيني

    لحظة من ساعة داخل حماك

    Whenever you take life from me, give me

    A moment of an hour within your sanctuary.

  4. الحياة آشوفها والموت فيني

    واعذاب اللي بغاك ولا لقاك

    I see life, while death is within me.

    Oh, the torment of one who wanted you but did not find you!

  5. اسهر الليل وقمر طيفك بعيني

    والشعاع الصبح يوقظ بي رجاك

    I keep vigil through the night, and the moon of your phantom is in my eye.

    And the morning light awakens in me hope for you.

  6. أن حدى حادي تولاني حنيني

    وإن عرض طيفك على طرفي بكاك

    If a camel-driver chants, my longing overtakes me;

    And if your phantom appears before my eye, it weeps for you.

  7. كيف هذا من هوى قلبي يجيني

    يا أرق الناس قولي وش دهاك

    How can this come to me from my heart's love?

    O gentlest of people, tell me what has come over you.

  8. لو تماديت بملامي سامحيني

    قد تماديتي بذبحي من طغاك

    If I have gone too far in my reproach, forgive me;

    You have indeed gone too far in slaying me through your tyranny.
