إِن روحي ودعتني عندما
ودعتنيbade me farewell ليلةَon the night of البينِparting ثرياThurayya
ودعتني ليلةَ البينِ ثريا
Indeed, my soul bade me farewell when
When my soul bid me farewell as
Thurayya bade me farewell on the night of parting.
It bid me farewell on the night of parting, Thuria,
بلwetted دمعيmy tears وجنتيهاher two cheeks مثلماjust as
بل دمعي وجنتيها مثلما
بللتshe wetted منfrom مدمعيهاher two tear ducts وجنتياmy two cheeks
بللت من مدمعيها وجنتيا
My tears wetted her cheeks, just as
My tears and my cheeks were as if
She wetted my cheeks with tears from her eyes.
I had wet them from my pouring tears and my cheeks,
لاno كلامٌwords منfrom ثرياThurayya غيرَexcept ماwhat
لا كلامٌ من ثريا غيرَ ما
أسمعتهmade it heard مقلتاهاher two eyes مقلتياmy two eyes
أسمعته مقلتاها مقلتيا
No words came from Thurayya except what
No words from Thuria except what
Her eyes made my eyes hear.
I heard her eyelids say to my eyelids,
ليلةٌa night تمضيpasses وتغدوand becomes بعدهاafter it
ليلةٌ تمضي وتغدو بعدها
درتيmy pearl الحسناءُthe beautiful فيin غيرِother than يدياmy two hands
درتي الحسناءُ في غيرِ يديا
One night will pass, and afterward
A night passes and after it dawns
My beautiful pearl will be in hands other than mine.
My beautiful Darthi in the hands of another,
ليلةٌa night تمضيpasses وتغدوand becomes زوجةًa wife
ليلةٌ تمضي وتغدو زوجةً
لدخيلٍto an intruder صالَattacked بالمالِwith wealth علياagainst me
لدخيلٍ صالَ بالمالِ عليا
One night will pass, and she will become a wife
A night passes and she becomes the wife
To an intruder who assailed me with his wealth.
Of a stranger who came with money over me,
أيهاO you السائلُwho asks عنيabout me بعدهاafter her
أيها السائلُ عني بعدها
إِنَّindeed منthe one تسألُyou ask عنهُabout him ليسis not حياalive
إِنَّ من تسألُ عنهُ ليس حيا
O you who ask about me after she is gone,
O you who ask about me after her,
Indeed, the one you ask about is not alive.
Indeed, the one you ask about is no longer alive,
قتلوهthey killed him يومthe day مالواthey turned aside بالثرياwith Thurayya
قتلوه يوم مالوا بالثريا
ورموهاand they cast her فيinto الثرىthe dust ظلماًunjustly وغياand perversely
ورموها في الثرى ظلماً وغيا
They killed him the day they led Thurayya away,
They killed him when they inclined to Thuria
And cast her into the dust, unjustly and perversely.
And threw her in the ground unjustly and ignorantly,
ليتهمif only they قدhad قتلوهkilled him وحدهalone
ليتهم قد قتلوه وحده
ويحهمwoe to them قدhave قتلواkilled ايضاًalso ثرياThurayya
ويحهم قد قتلوا ايضاً ثريا
If only they had killed him alone!
If only they had killed him alone
Woe to them! They have killed Thurayya too.
And woe to them, they had also killed Thuria.
