لَو لَم يُفارِقني عَطِيَّةُ لَم أَهُن

لَو لَم يُفارِقني عَطِيَّةُ لَم أَهُن

وَلَم أُعطِ أَعدائي الَّذي كُنتُ أَمنَعُ

وَلَم أُعطِ أَعدائي الَّذي كُنتُ أَمنَعُ

If Atiyya had not parted from me, I would not have been brought low,

Had Atiyyah not parted from me, I'd not be disgraced,

Nor would I have given my enemies what I used to withhold.

Nor would I give my enemies what I'd always refused.

شُجاعٌ إِذا لاقى وَرامٍ إِذا رَمى

شُجاعٌ إِذا لاقى وَرامٍ إِذا رَمى

وَهادٍ إِذا ما أَظلَمَ اللَيلُ مِصدَعُ

وَهادٍ إِذا ما أَظلَمَ اللَيلُ مِصدَعُ

Brave when he faced a foe, an archer when he shot,

Valiant when facing a lion, fearless when shooting arrows,

And a bold, resolute guide when the night grew dark.

Calm when darkest night blankets the land.

سَأَبكيكَ حَتّى تُنفِدَ العَينُ ماءَها

سَأَبكيكَ حَتّى تُنفِدَ العَينُ ماءَها

وَيَشفِيَ مِنّي الدَمعُ ما أَتَوَجَّعُ

وَيَشفِيَ مِنّي الدَمعُ ما أَتَوَجَّعُ

I shall weep for you until my eye has spent its water,

I will weep for you until tears run dry,

And tears heal the pain within me.

And weeping relieves my deep pain.
