يا غَادِرينَ إِلامَ يَثْني هَجرُكُم

يا غَادِرينَ إِلامَ يَثْني هَجرُكُم

وملالُكُم أمَلِي بجَدٍّ نَاكِصِ

وملالُكُم أمَلِي بجَدٍّ نَاكِصِ

O faithless ones, how long will your abandonment

O you who left, why does your departure aggrieve me

and your weariness thwart my hope, with fortune in retreat?

While my hopes in you were diminishing in earnest

أنا مِن هَواكُم بين حبٍّ زائدٍ

أنا مِن هَواكُم بين حبٍّ زائدٍ

بَلَغَ النهايةَ بي وحظٍّ ناقصِ

بَلَغَ النهايةَ بي وحظٍّ ناقصِ

In my love for you, I am caught between a growing love

I, from loving you, am between increased love

that has carried me to the utmost limit, and meager fortune.

And diminished fortune that has reached its end with me

أرضَى مشُوبَ الوُدِّ منكُم بالقِلى

أرضَى مشُوبَ الوُدِّ منكُم بالقِلى

وأُبِيحُكُم محضَ الوداد الخَالِصِ

وأُبِيحُكُم محضَ الوداد الخَالِصِ

I accept affection from you mingled with aversion,

I am content with your imperfect affection

and freely offer you pure, unalloyed love.

And I allow your pure and sincere love
