مُذْ غِبْتَ عَنْ عَيْنِي سُلِبْتُ مَنَامِي

مُذْ غِبْتَ عَنْ عَيْنِي سُلِبْتُ مَنَامِي

وَالصَّبْرُ خَلْفِي وَالأَسَى قُدَّامِي

وَالصَّبْرُ خَلْفِي وَالأَسَى قُدَّامِي

Since you left my sight, I have been robbed of my sleep.

Since you've been gone, sleep has deserted me,

Since you vanished from my eyes, I have been robbed of my sleep,

And patience is behind me, and sorrow before me.

Patience lags behind, while sorrow walks ahead.

With patience behind me and sorrow before me.

حَمَّلْتَنِي هَجْراً بِغَيْرِ جِنَايَةٍ

حَمَّلْتَنِي هَجْراً بِغَيْرِ جِنَايَةٍ

إِلاَّ صَحِيحَ مَوَدَّتِي وَغَرَامِي

إِلاَّ صَحِيحَ مَوَدَّتِي وَغَرَامِي

You burdened me with estrangement for no offense

You've burdened me with estrangement without crime—

You burdened me with abandonment without any crime,

Except my true affection and my ardent love.

Except my true affection and passion for you.

Save for the sincerity of my affection and my passion.

مَا ذَا أُكَابِدُ فِيكَ مِنْ حُرَقِ الْجَوَى

مَا ذَا أُكَابِدُ فِيكَ مِنْ حُرَقِ الْجَوَى

فَالشَّوْقُ شَوْقِي وَالضِّرَامُ ضِرَامِي

فَالشَّوْقُ شَوْقِي وَالضِّرَامُ ضِرَامِي

What burning pangs of love I endure for you!

What fiery agony for you I withstand!

What burning agonies of love I endure for your sake,

For the longing is mine, and the blaze is mine.

Yearning is my yearning and wounds are my wounds.

For the longing is my longing, and the blaze is my blaze.

مَنْ خَصَّنِي بِهَوَاكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّنِي اسْ

مَنْ خَصَّنِي بِهَوَاكَ يَعْلَمُ أَنَّنِي اسْ

تَحْلَيْتُ فِيكَ مَرَارَةََ اللُّوَّامِ

تَحْلَيْتُ فِيكَ مَرَارَةََ اللُّوَّامِ

He who singled me out to love you knows that I—

Whoever reproaches me for loving you should know

He who singled me out for your love knows that I

Have found the reproachers’ bitterness sweet for your sake.

I have tasted in you the bitterness of blame.

Have found sweetness in the bitterness of the reproachers for your sake.

دُمْ عالِماً إنِّي بِحُبِّكَ هَائِمٌ

دُمْ عالِماً إنِّي بِحُبِّكَ هَائِمٌ

وَإِلَى لِقَائِكَ غُلَّتِي وَأُوَامِي

وَإِلَى لِقَائِكَ غُلَّتِي وَأُوَامِي

Always know that I am lost in love for you.

Stay knowing that for your love I am possessed,

Know forever that I am wandering madly in love with you,

And until I meet you, my burning thirst and raging thirst endure.

And to meet you again are all my hopes and dreams.

And that for our meeting is my burning thirst and deepest desire.
