أَروني وَجهَ نِسرينِ
وَأَنّى لي بِنِسرينِ
Show me my beloved's face,
Though I have no beloved.
أَروني مَن يُداويني
مِنَ الداءِ وَيَشفيني
Show me who will cure me
Of my sickness and heal me.
فَإِن لَم تَملِكوا الأَمرَ الَّ
ذي أَرجو فَمَنوني
If you cannot grant
What I hope for, console me,
وَذُبّوا اليَأسَ عَن قَلبي
بِما شِئتُم وَغُرّوني
And banish despair from my heart
However you wish, and cheer me.
فَيا شُغلي عَنِ الدُنيا
وَيا شُغلي عَنِ الدينِ
O my heart's preoccupation with worldly things,
O my heart's preoccupation with religion,
أَما شَيءٌ مِنَ الأَشيا
ءِ مِن وَصلِكِ يُدنيني
Is there nothing among all things
That would bring me closer to being joined with you?
