كَتَبتُها مِن آمِدِ
عَن فَرطِ شَوقٍ زائِدِ
I wrote it out of excessive longing
For I miss you more than words can say
وَاللَهِ مُذ فارَقتُكُم لَم
تَصفُ لي مَوارِدي
Since we parted, my life has lost its joy
My days are not what they used to be
فَهَل زَماني بَعدَها
بِقُربِكُم مُساعِدي
Will we ever be close again?
My heart yearns to be by your side
فَكَم نَذورٍ أَصبَحَت
عَلَيَّ لِلمَساجِدِ
So many promises made, should we meet
In devotion, I'd spend my life in prayer
وَهَبتُ باقي عُمُري
لَكُم بِيَومٍ واحِدِ
Just to be with you for a single day
I'd give all the years that remain of my life
