نقلوا أنني سلوت هواك
آه من نقل آثمٍ أفَّاك
They conveyed that I asked about your love
Oh, what a sinful conveyor released you
حاش الله لو سليت على النا
ر فؤادِي ما كنتُ ممن سلاك
God forbid that I asked anyone
About the secret of my heart, I wouldn't be one to ask you
سائلي سائلَ الدموع بخدِّي
عن جوى القلب وانظري مغناك
Ask the tears on my cheek
About the secret of my heart, and look at your songs
ولقد لام في ضنا الجسم لاهٍ
ما قضى ما قضيته في حماك
And blame was made on the thinness of my body, by a blamer
Who hasn't fulfilled what was destined in protecting you
لائمي إنَّ في الضنا ليَ عذراً
كلَّما اشتقت أهل وادِي الأراك
Blamer, my thinness is excused
Whenever I miss the people of the valley of Al-Arak
فسقى الغيث بالأراكِ حبيباً
صارَ جسمي عليهِ كالمسواك
So the rain watered a loved one in Al-Arak
And my body over it became like a toothbrush
ومليكاً قد ماتَ بعد مليكٍ
بحماة يا حرّ قلبي لذاك
And a king who died after a king
In Hama, oh the burning of my heart for him
