رُبَّ لَيلٍ قَد سَهِرتُه

رُبَّ دَمعٍ قَد أَفَضتُه

Many a night have I passed sleepless,

Many a tear have I shed,

رُبَّ حُزنٍ لي طَويلٍ

مَعَ حُبٍّ لي كَتَمتُه

Much sorrow have I borne,

With a love I kept hidden,

لَو يَذوقُ المَوتَ أَشجى ال

ناسَ بِالحُبِّ لَذُقتُه

If death were to taste the bitterest

Of people in love, I would have tasted it,

بِأَبي مَن لا يُبالي

غِبتُ عَنهُ أَو شَهِدتُه

By the One who cares not

If I am absent from him or with him,

أَنا مِن أَسخَنِ خَلقِ ال

لَهِ عَيناً مُذ عَرَفتُه

I am of the most passionate of God's creation for Him,

I have had an eye on Him since I knew Him.
