يفنى الزمان ومحنتي

بكِ كل يوم فِي زياده

Time passes and my torment

for you grows each day

بالغت فِي طلبي وصا

لَكَ لو تواتيني السعادهْ

I have gone to extremes in my pleas

if only happiness would come to me

تنأى وتدنو دائماً

لَمْ ينتظم لي فيك عادهْ

You keep your distance yet stay near

no habit has formed between us

أفنيت عمري فِي الجها

د وأرتجي فيك الشهادهْ

I have spent my life striving

and for you I await martyrdom
