دَعيني فَقَد أَيقَظتِ بي كامِنَ الأَسى

دَعيني فَقَد أَيقَظتِ بي كامِنَ الأَسى

وَهِجتِ جِراحَ الحُبِّ في قَلبيَ الدامي

وَهِجتِ جِراحَ الحُبِّ في قَلبيَ الدامي

Leave me, for you have awakened the sorrow latent within me,

Leave me be, for you have awakened the dormant sorrows in me

And inflamed love's wounds in my bleeding heart.

And ignited the wounds of love in my bleeding heart

غَدَرتِ وَجِئتِ الآنَ تَستَغفِرينَني

غَدَرتِ وَجِئتِ الآنَ تَستَغفِرينَني

لِنَقضِكِ عَهدَ الحُبِّ مِن بَعدِ إِبرامِ

لِنَقضِكِ عَهدَ الحُبِّ مِن بَعدِ إِبرامِ

You betrayed me and have now come seeking my forgiveness

You betrayed me and now come seeking my forgiveness

For breaking love's covenant after it was made binding.

For breaking the pact of love after agreeing to it

دَعيني فَلا قَلبي عَلَيكِ بِعاطِفٍ

دَعيني فَلا قَلبي عَلَيكِ بِعاطِفٍ

حَناناً وَلا دَمعي لَدى فُرقَةٍ هامي

حَناناً وَلا دَمعي لَدى فُرقَةٍ هامي

Leave me, for my heart is not inclined toward you

Leave me be, for my heart no longer holds any affection for you

With tenderness, nor do my tears stream at parting.

Nor do my tears flow at our painful separation

لَقَد ضَلَّ عَقلي فيكِ وَها أَنا

لَقَد ضَلَّ عَقلي فيكِ وَها أَنا

عَرَفتُ سَبيلَ الحُبِّ مِن بَعدِ تَهيامي

عَرَفتُ سَبيلَ الحُبِّ مِن بَعدِ تَهيامي

Indeed, my reason went astray over you, and here I am:

Indeed I lost my mind in you, and here I am

I have learned love's path after my lovesick wandering.

Having found out after delusion the way of love

رَبيتِ عَلى روحي نَعمْ وَعَلى دَمِي

رَبيتِ عَلى روحي نَعمْ وَعَلى دَمِي

وَلكِن سُدىً ضاعَت بِحُبِّكِ أَيّامي

وَلكِن سُدىً ضاعَت بِحُبِّكِ أَيّامي

You were nurtured on my soul—yes, and on my blood,

You grew up nourished on my soul and blood

And yet my days were wasted in vain through loving you.

But in vain, my days were wasted in loving you

فَيالَيتَني مِن قَبلُ صَدَّقتُ عُذَّلي

فَيالَيتَني مِن قَبلُ صَدَّقتُ عُذَّلي

وَطاوَعتُ في بدءِ المَلامَةِ لوّامي

وَطاوَعتُ في بدءِ المَلامَةِ لوّامي

Oh, if only I had believed my reproachers before,

If only I had believed my blamers from the start

And heeded my reprovers when the reproach began.

And obeyed at the beginning of rebuke my reproachers

بَنيتُ وَأَعلَيتُ الأَمانيَ ضَلَّةً

بَنيتُ وَأَعلَيتُ الأَمانيَ ضَلَّةً

فَهَدَّمتِ لي بِالغَدرِ شامِخَ أَحلامي

فَهَدَّمتِ لي بِالغَدرِ شامِخَ أَحلامي

I built and raised my hopes in delusion,

I built and elevated false hopes

Then, through betrayal, you demolished my towering dreams.

Only for you to demolish with betrayal my towering dreams

طَمَستِ عَلى قَلبي فَلا اِسمُكِ فَوقَهُ

طَمَستِ عَلى قَلبي فَلا اِسمُكِ فَوقَهُ

يَعيشُ وَلا زَهَو الهَوى فَوقَهُ نامي

يَعيشُ وَلا زَهَو الهَوى فَوقَهُ نامي

You blotted out my heart, so neither your name upon it

You erased from my heart so that neither your name lives on it

Lives, nor does love's splendor flourish upon it.

Nor the flowers of passion remain blossoming on it

وَقَلبُكِ هذا يا لِقَلبِكِ غادِراً

وَقَلبُكِ هذا يا لِقَلبِكِ غادِراً

سَأَسحَقُهُ ثَأراً لِقَلبي بِأَقدامي

سَأَسحَقُهُ ثَأراً لِقَلبي بِأَقدامي

And this heart of yours—oh, what a treacherous heart!

And your heart, oh what a betraying heart

I shall crush it with my feet in vengeance for my heart.

I will crush it in vengeance for my heart beneath my feet

فَذوقي الَّذي قَد ذُقتُ أَنتِ ظَلَمتِني

فَذوقي الَّذي قَد ذُقتُ أَنتِ ظَلَمتِني

بِحُبّي وَآمالي وَلَستُ بِظَلّامِ

بِحُبّي وَآمالي وَلَستُ بِظَلّامِ

So taste what I have tasted: it was you who wronged me

So taste what I have tasted, you wronged me

In my love and my hopes, and I am no oppressor.

With my love, my hopes, though I am no wrongdoer
