وَيَلاه مِن غَدر ريمٍ كُنت أَحسبه

يَرعى وِدادي وَلا يَصبو إِلى أَحَدِ

Oh, what betrayal from Rim I thought

Would tend to my love and desire no other

فَخانَني عِندَما أَمَّنته وَصَبا

لِمَن كَرهتهمُ فيهِ إِلى الأَبَد

Yet he deceived me when I trusted him

And poured himself to those whom I'll hate forever

فَيا فُؤاديَ دَعني مِن مَحبته

وَأَنتِ يا نَفس كفِّي وَاِنظري لِغَد

So my heart, release me from loving him

And you, my soul, refrain and look to tomorrow

فَسَوفَ يَعرف قَدري بَعدَ فُرقَتِنا

وَتَنطَفي نار هَجرٍ أَحرقت كَبدي

For he will know my worth after we part

And the fire of this painful estrangement will fade

وَلَستُ أَشكو الَّذي بي مِن مَلالته

إِلّا لِرَب السَماء الواحد الصَمَد

I do not complain of his disdain for me

Except to the One Lord of the Heavens, the Eternal
