يا قلبُ أينَ دَواؤكا

فلَقد تَطاوَلَ داؤكا

O my heart, where is your remedy

For your illness has grown severe

دامَ السقامُ بِهَجرِ من

يَهوى وَعزَّ شِفاؤكا

The sickness persists from the estrangement of she

Whom I love, and your healing is difficult

يا مَن هويتُ بذلتني

للموتِ طالَ بقاؤكا

O you whom I love, you made me

Succumb to death, and prolonged is your survival

إن كانَ يأسٌ منكَ في

قلبي ففيهِ رَجاؤكا

If there is despair of you in

My heart, then in it too is my hope for you
