كتبتُ فلم تجبني عن كتابي

كتبتُ فلم تجبني عن كتابي

فأهلني لتسريح الجواب

فأهلني لتسريح الجواب

I wrote, but you did not answer my letter.

I wrote to you, but no reply came from you

So deem me worthy of having a reply dispatched.

So I prepared myself to let go of an answer

ترجى بالإجابة عن همومٍ

ترجى بالإجابة عن همومٍ

أحاطت من تباريح الجوى بي

أحاطت من تباريح الجوى بي

You are looked to for an answer concerning cares

You hope to alleviate worries

That have beset me through the torments of longing.

That have surrounded me from all sides
