دَعيني فَقَد أَيقَظتِ بي كامِنَ الأَسى

وَهِجتِ جِراحَ الحُبِّ في قَلبيَ الدامي

Leave me be, for you have awakened the dormant sorrows in me

And ignited the wounds of love in my bleeding heart

غَدَرتِ وَجِئتِ الآنَ تَستَغفِرينَني

لِنَقضِكِ عَهدَ الحُبِّ مِن بَعدِ إِبرامِ

You betrayed me and now come seeking my forgiveness

For breaking the pact of love after agreeing to it

دَعيني فَلا قَلبي عَلَيكِ بِعاطِفٍ

حَناناً وَلا دَمعي لَدى فُرقَةٍ هامي

Leave me be, for my heart no longer holds any affection for you

Nor do my tears flow at our painful separation

لَقَد ضَلَّ عَقلي فيكِ وَها أَنا

عَرَفتُ سَبيلَ الحُبِّ مِن بَعدِ تَهيامي

Indeed I lost my mind in you, and here I am

Having found out after delusion the way of love

رَبيتِ عَلى روحي نَعمْ وَعَلى دَمِي

وَلكِن سُدىً ضاعَت بِحُبِّكِ أَيّامي

You grew up nourished on my soul and blood

But in vain, my days were wasted in loving you

فَيالَيتَني مِن قَبلُ صَدَّقتُ عُذَّلي

وَطاوَعتُ في بدءِ المَلامَةِ لوّامي

If only I had believed my blamers from the start

And obeyed at the beginning of rebuke my reproachers

بَنيتُ وَأَعلَيتُ الأَمانيَ ضَلَّةً

فَهَدَّمتِ لي بِالغَدرِ شامِخَ أَحلامي

I built and elevated false hopes

Only for you to demolish with betrayal my towering dreams

طَمَستِ عَلى قَلبي فَلا اِسمُكِ فَوقَهُ

يَعيشُ وَلا زَهَو الهَوى فَوقَهُ نامي

You erased from my heart so that neither your name lives on it

Nor the flowers of passion remain blossoming on it

وَقَلبُكِ هذا يا لِقَلبِكِ غادِراً

سَأَسحَقُهُ ثَأراً لِقَلبي بِأَقدامي

And your heart, oh what a betraying heart

I will crush it in vengeance for my heart beneath my feet

فَذوقي الَّذي قَد ذُقتُ أَنتِ ظَلَمتِني

بِحُبّي وَآمالي وَلَستُ بِظَلّامِ

So taste what I have tasted, you wronged me

With my love, my hopes, though I am no wrongdoer
