ثَنَتْني عنكَ فاستشعرْتُ هَجراً

ثَنَتْني عنكَ فاستشعرْتُ هَجراً

خِلالٌ فيكَ لستُ لها بِرَاضي

خِلالٌ فيكَ لستُ لها بِرَاضي

I was turned away from you, and so felt estrangement,

You turned me from you, so I felt abandonment

By traits in you with which I am not pleased,

There is something wrong with you, I'm not pleased with it

وأنَّكَ كلَّما استُودِعْتَ سِرّاً

وأنَّكَ كلَّما استُودِعْتَ سِرّاً

أَنَمُّ من النَّسيمِ على الرِّياضِ

أَنَمُّ من النَّسيمِ على الرِّياضِ

And by the fact that, whenever you are entrusted with a secret,

And whenever you're entrusted with a secret

You are more of a talebearer than the breeze over the gardens.

I sleep more soundly than the breeze upon the gardens
