يا قَلبِ هَل لَكَ عَن حُمَيدَةَ زاجِرُ

يا قَلبِ هَل لَكَ عَن حُمَيدَةَ زاجِرُ

أَم أَنتَ مُدَّكِرُ الحَياءِ فَصابِرُ

أَم أَنتَ مُدَّكِرُ الحَياءِ فَصابِرُ

O my heart, is there anything to hold you back from Humayda?

My heart, do you have any deterrent to Humaydah

Or will you remember modesty and be patient?

Or are you just remembering modesty, so you're patient?

فَالقَلبُ مِن ذِكرى حُمَيدَةَ مُوجَعٌ

فَالقَلبُ مِن ذِكرى حُمَيدَةَ مُوجَعٌ

وَالدَمعُ مُنحَدِرٌ وَدَمعِيَ فاتِرُ

وَالدَمعُ مُنحَدِرٌ وَدَمعِيَ فاتِرُ

For the heart is pained by the memory of Humayda,

The heart is pained with memories of Humaydah

And tears flow down, and my tears are lukewarm,

Tears are flowing and my tears diminish

حَتّى بَدا لي مِن حُمَيدَةَ خُلَّتي

حَتّى بَدا لي مِن حُمَيدَةَ خُلَّتي

بَينٌ وَكُنتُ مِنَ الفِراقِ أُحاذِرُ

بَينٌ وَكُنتُ مِنَ الفِراقِ أُحاذِرُ

Until there appeared to me, from Humayda, my beloved,

Until being alone with Humaydah was revealed to me

A parting—and I had been dreading separation.

Obviously, yet I feared separation
