لو كنتَ تَسمعُ ما يقولُ تكلَّما

دَنِفُ الفؤادِ إليكَ منكَ تظلَّما

If you could hear what my heart is saying

It would come close to you, complaining of your oppression

لم تخشَ فِيه اللَه يومَ منعتَه

حقّ التحيةِ حيثُ مرَّ مسلِّما

You did not fear God the day you denied it

The right of greeting as it passed by, a Muslim

هجرَ الكَرى عَينيهِ حينَ هَجرتَهُ

فهناكَ إن كَراه منكَ تعَلما

It has turned its eyes away from people since you abandoned it

So if it still cares for you, it is little

مَلَّ الحياةَ مِن الذي في قلبهِ

فلئِن تمتَّعَ بالحياةِ فقَلما

He who carries in his heart what I carry

Has little enjoyment of life, if any
