بين سهدٍ وعذابٍ وضنى

مرّ ليلي ذاك حالي وأنا

Between longing and torment and yearning

My night passed as such was my state

أسأل الأنجم عن حال المنى

يا حبيبي كيف صارت بيننا

I ask the stars about the state of the beloved

Oh my love how did it become between us

كيف أمسى يا حبيبي عهدنا

بعد ما طاب هوانا ودنا

How did our promise pass, my love

After our love and closeness became pleasant

كلُّ ما كان بعيداً ورنا

كلُّ نجمٍ من سماوات السنا

Everything that was once distant became intimate

Every star in the heavens of splendor

آه لو ينظر حالي الآن آه

حينما ضاقت بآلامي الحياه

Oh, if only my state now could be seen, oh

When life became too narrow for my pain

ندم النجمُ على غالي سناه

ورأى كيف انطوينا فطواه

The star regretted its long brilliance

And saw how we folded into its expanse
