ما لي أراك أضعتَ وُدِّي

وغدرتَ بي وَنقَضتَ عَهدي

Why have I seen you lose affection for me

And betray me, breaking your vow?

وأَذَبتَ قلبي في الهوى

ظُلماً بنار جَوىً ووَجد

You have wronged my heart with passion

Unjustly with burning agony and yearning

وجَعَلتَ طَرفي بالأسى

وَقفاً على دَمعي وسُهدي

And you have made my eyes weep

Pausing at my tears and sleeplessness

وأرى الإساءة منك ح

ين تُسِئُ كالإِحسانِ عندي

And I see harm from you

When you do wrong as though it were kindness to me

حَتَّامَ أُخفِي في هوا

ك صَبابَتي والدمع يُبدي

So I conceal my love for you

My youth and the tears that reveal it

أنا قد أَتيتُكَ قاصِداً

فعساك تعرف حَقَّ قَصدي

I have come to you with intention

Hopefully you know the rightness of my aim

عَلِقَت بذيلِ رجاك آ

مالي فَعَلَّلها بوَعدِ

My hopes cling to the hem of your mercy

Excuse them with a promise

شوقي إليك كما علم

تَ يَجِلُّ عن حَصرٍ وحَدِّ

My longing for you, as you know

Transcends limits and bounds
