فراق الأم أم رحاب قلبي

فراق الأم أم رحاب قلبي

بآلام وطرزه بحزن

بآلام وطرزه بحزن

Parting from my mother has sought out my heart’s wide reaches

Parting from my mother oh Rahaab my heart

with pains, and embroidered it with sorrow.

With sorrows embroidered and with grief adorned

فقلبي كلما خطرت ببالي

فقلبي كلما خطرت ببالي

يئج جوى ودمعي فيض مزن

يئج جوى ودمعي فيض مزن

So my heart, whenever she crosses my mind,

So my heart whenever you cross my mind

blazes with anguish, and my tears are a torrent from rainclouds.

Exhales agony and my tears pour copiously
