يا غائبينَ وفي قلبي محلُّهُم

يا غائبينَ وفي قلبي محلُّهُم

لم تنزحوا لكِن الدَّمعُ الّذي نَزَحا

لم تنزحوا لكِن الدَّمعُ الّذي نَزَحا

O absent ones, whose dwelling is in my heart,

O absent ones, though you still dwell in my heart

You have not gone away, but it is the tears that have drained away.

It's not you who have left - the tears simply poured

هواكُم إن دَنَت دارٌ وإن بَعُدَت

هواكُم إن دَنَت دارٌ وإن بَعُدَت

كما عهدتُم وبُرحُ الوجدِ ما بَرحا

كما عهدتُم وبُرحُ الوجدِ ما بَرحا

My love for you, whether the dwelling is near or far,

Whether near or far, my love for you remains

is as you knew it, and the anguish of longing has not ceased.

Just as you've always been - yearning stays the same
