فَذَهَبْتُ والأَحْشاءُ مِنْ وَجْدٍ بها

لِزَفيرِها وشَهِيقِها إحْراقُ

I left, my heart aflame with longing for her

Burnt by her sighs and moans of sorrow

وَظَللْتُ من نارِ الْجَوانِحِ والْبُكا

يَنْتابُني الإحْراقُ والإغْراقُ

I'm scorched by the fires in my soul, drowning

In this agony and torment, forlorn

يا مَنْ قَضَى بِفِراقِنا أرْجكَ أَنْ

يَأَتِي لَنا بَعْدَ الْفِراقِ وِفاقُ

O He who decreed our parting, have mercy

And bring us together again, make peace

فَنَبِيتَ مِنْ فَرَحِ اللّقا في غِبْطَةٍ

وَيَجِفَّ فَيْضُ مدامِعِي الْمِهْراقُ

That we may revel in the joy of reunion

And dry are my ever-flowing tears of grief
