جَعَلتِ مَحَلَّةَ البَلوى فُؤادي

وَسَلَّطتِ السُهادَ عَلى رُقادي

You have made my heart a dwelling place for affliction,

And unleashed insomnia upon my slumber.

وَنِمتِ خَلِيَّةً وَفَقَدتُ نَومي

أَما اِستَحيا رُقادُكِ مِن سُهادي

You slept deeply while I lost my sleep,

Does not your sleep feel ashamed before my insomnia?

سَأَسكُتُ إِن بَخِلتِ بِجَدعِ أَنفي

وَأَحفَظُكُم إِلى يَومِ التَنادِ

I will stay silent if you begrudge me my breath,

And keep you safely until the day we meet.

وَأَنصَحُكِ المَوَدَّةَ مِن ضَميري

وَأَذخَرُ سِرَّ حُبِّكِ في فُؤادي

I advise you sincere affection from my conscience,

And store the secret of your love in my heart.
