لَأَموتَنَّ بِغَمّى

لَأَموتَنَّ بِغَمّى

في هَوى مَن لا أُسَمّي

في هَوى مَن لا أُسَمّي

I shall surely die of my grief,

I will surely die of sorrow

For love of one I do not name.

In the passion of one I dare not name.

ذَهَبَت نَفسي وَإِن كُن

ذَهَبَت نَفسي وَإِن كُن

تُ عَلى الناسِ أُعَمّي

تُ عَلى الناسِ أُعَمّي

My soul has departed, although I was

My soul is gone, though to all

Keeping it hidden from people.

I feign blindness.

عَلوَ ياقُرَّةَ عَيني

عَلوَ ياقُرَّةَ عَيني

وَمُنى نَفسي وَهَمّي

وَمُنى نَفسي وَهَمّي

ʿAlw, O delight of my eye,

Rise high, light of my eyes,

And my soul's desire and my concern,

My soul's bliss, my cares' aim.

حَقِّقي بَعضَ عِداتي

حَقِّقي بَعضَ عِداتي

بِأَبي أَنتِ وَأُمّي

بِأَبي أَنتِ وَأُمّي

Fulfill some of the promises made to me—

Fulfill some of my hopes,

May my father and mother be your ransom.

For the sake of my father and mother.
