قَد ضاعَ عُمري في الهَوى وَصَبابَتي

قَد ضاعَ عُمري في الهَوى وَصَبابَتي

وَقوايَ ضاعَت وَالحِمامُ لَقَد دَنا

وَقوايَ ضاعَت وَالحِمامُ لَقَد دَنا

My life has indeed been wasted in love and my passionate longing.

My life was wasted in love and my youth

And my strength is lost, and death has surely drawn near.

My strength is gone, and death is near

وَدَرى الحَبيبُ بِأَنّني مِن لَحظِهِ

وَدَرى الحَبيبُ بِأَنّني مِن لَحظِهِ

وَقِوامِهِ وَعِذارِهِ ظَهري اِنحَنى

وَقِوامِهِ وَعِذارِهِ ظَهري اِنحَنى

And the beloved knew that, because of his glance,

The beloved knows that I, from his glance

And his stature and the down on his cheek, my back had bent.

And bearing and reproach, my back is bent
