ياO حُسنَbeauty أَيّامناour days البيضِwhite الّتيthat سَلَفَتhave passed
يا حُسنَ أَيّامنا البيضِ الّتي سَلَفَت
أَفنَيتُI exhausted فيin عودِهاtheir return حَثّيmy urging وتَحريضيand my exhortation
أَفنَيتُ في عودِها حَثّي وتَحريضي
Oh, the beauty of our white days that have passed!
Oh beauty of our white days now past
I exhausted my urging and exhortation in seeking their return.
I spent my urging and inciting in their return
وَالآنَand now أَيّامناour days سودٌblack فَواso alas أَسَفيmy sorrow
وَالآنَ أَيّامنا سودٌ فَوا أَسَفي
أَبدَلتI replaced بِالسّودِwith black ones عَنin place of أَيّامناour days البيضِwhite
أَبدَلت بِالسّودِ عَن أَيّامنا البيضِ
And now our days are black—alas, my sorrow!
Now our days are black, alas my sorrow
I have replaced our white days with black ones.
Black has replaced white from our days of yore
