تجيني على موعد ومن غير موعد جت

تجيني على موعد ومن غير موعد جت

وأنا ما دعاني للوصل شوق ومشتاق

وأنا ما دعاني للوصل شوق ومشتاق

She comes to me by appointment, and she has come without one.

You come to me with and without an appointment

Yet neither longing nor a yearning lover called me to this union.

And I was not called to the union longing and longing

تجيني متى شاءت لها كل وقت وقت

تجيني متى شاءت لها كل وقت وقت

تهز البدن والروح ما دونها واقي

تهز البدن والروح ما دونها واقي

She comes whenever she wishes; for her, any time is the right time.

You come to me whenever she wants, every time is time

She shakes body and soul; there is no shield against her.

It shakes the body and the soul less than it is honest

وإذا ما هقيت أني من معاشرتها مت

وإذا ما هقيت أني من معاشرتها مت

تفهق وأشوف بقى بالعمر باقي

تفهق وأشوف بقى بالعمر باقي

And when I think I have died from keeping her company,

And when I woke up that I died from her company

She draws back, and I see there is still some life left.

She wakes up and I see the rest of my life left

وفاها معي يذبح ورا ما تخون وخنت

وفاها معي يذبح ورا ما تخون وخنت

أبا أسمح جعله اتلى مواعيد الأشواق

أبا أسمح جعله اتلى مواعيد الأشواق

Her faithfulness to me kills—why won't she betray me, though I have betrayed her?

Its loyalty is with me slaughtering after it does not betray and betray

I want to forgive her—may this be the last of longing's trysts.

I want to allow it to fulfill the appointments of longing
