أنا مِن عيني وقلبي

أنا مِن عيني وقلبي

ومن أيري في اجتهاد

ومن أيري في اجتهاد

Because of my eye and my heart,

I am from my eyes and heart

I am, because of my eye and my heart

and because of my cock, I struggle.

And from the perseverance of my thoughts

And my member, in constant toil;

ليتَ لي عيناً بعيني

ليتَ لي عيناً بعيني

وفؤاداً بفؤادي

وفؤاداً بفؤادي

Would that I had an eye in place of my eye,

If only I had an eye for my eye

Would that I had an eye for my eye,

and a heart in place of my heart,

And a heart for my heart

And a heart in place of my heart,

وبأيري أيرُ شيخٍ

وبأيري أيرُ شيخٍ

ذاكرٌ أيامَ عادِ

ذاكرٌ أيامَ عادِ

and in place of my cock, an old man's cock,

And the thoughts of an aged sheikh

And for my member, the member of an elder

remembering the days of ‘Ad.

Recalling the days of old

Who remembers the days of 'Ad.
