آه لوقت سبقا

اكسب جفني الارقا

Oh, the time of departure

Has deprived my eyelids of sleep

ذكرني تذكاره

مسك وصال عبقا

His memory reminds me

Of the fragrance of union's touch

ورب ركب طائر

من حاجر الى النقا

A bird rode the wind

From the stony lands to the soft sands

سرى وغلغال الدجا

بعد طموس اشرقا

It crept through the darkness of night

After the twilight glow

يريد ريما بين ها

تيك الرياض انطلقا

Yearning to reach the meadows

And take off towards the gardens

اعجب من قوامه

امال غصنا مورقا

Amazed by its grace

As if a blossoming branch

وثغره البسام بالدر

ر النقي ابرقا

Its smiling lips like pearls

Shining brightly

هو الذي هيمني

وزاد قلبي قلقا

He who has possessed me

And filled my heart with longing

فارقته والهفي

له وعز الملتقى

I've left him, though my love

Is his, and ours is the destined meeting

عسى الذي قدر ذا

يجمع شملا فرقا

May He who destined this

Reunite our severed hearts

يا قلب صبرا فالفنا

لنا ولله البقا

O heart, be patient, for demise

Is ours, and to God belongs perpetuity
