ياللي نسيت الزمن وقلوبنا تعده

كم ليلةٍ غبت والهاجوس يلعب بي

O you who forgot time and our hearts counting it

How many nights have I been absent with obsession playing with me

لا انت مع القلب يالغالي ولا ضده

كله سوى راحتي والا تعب قلبي

You are neither with nor against my heart, O most precious one

It is all the same, except for my comfort or the toiling of my heart

يسيل قلبي على الخدين .. وارده

خبرت قلبٍ من اللوعات ينحبي

My heart flows down my cheeks.. a rose water

A heart experienced sorrows that make me ache

وان قلت لا بد يبرد زادت الشده

شقيت انا منك والشكوى على ربي

And if I say there must be a cooling, the passion increases

I am wretched because of you, and my complaint is to my Lord

يا من يغيب القمر لا من ظهر خده

الزين زينك وانا كثر الوله ذنبي

O you whose absence makes the moon disappear, not from his cheek

The beauty is your beauty, and I have many sins

من عانق السيف لازم يجرحه خده

ومن يعشق الجمر فيه النار تشتبي

Whoever embraces a sword, his cheek is bound to be wounded

And whoever loves embers, in him the fire will kindle
