أَيُّها الراحِلونَ عَنّي وَيَحدو

في مَطاياهُم بِقَلبِيَ حادي

O you who are departing from me while my love for you grows stronger

As their mounts stride on, with my heart urging them along

بِنتُمُ بِالفُؤادِ وَالأُنسِ وَالرا

حَةِ وَالصَبرِ وَالمُنى وَالرُقادِ

You took away my heart, my joy, my comfort

And my patience, my wishes, my rest and my sleep

طيبُ عَيشي فارَقتُهُ يَومَ فارَق

تُم فَهَل كُنتُم عَلى ميعادِ

My life was blissful until I lost it the day you left

Were you intending to return?

قَد سَلَبتُم مِنَ الفُؤادِ سُوَيدا

هُ وَكُنتُم مِن ناظِري في السَوادِ

You robbed the heart of its beloved,

And you were the ones I looked for in the darkness

فَأُعيدوا إِلى فُؤادِيَ ما غا

بَ مِنَ الأُنسِ أَو أُعيدوا رُقادي

So return to my heart what is missing of joy and companionship

Or return my sleep to me
