أَظهَرَ بَعدَ الوَصلِ هِجرانا

أَظهَرَ بَعدَ الوَصلِ هِجرانا

وَصَيَّرَ العِلّاتِ أَعوانا

وَصَيَّرَ العِلّاتِ أَعوانا

He showed estrangement after union,

After our union, he displayed estrangement,

And made excuses his allies.

And turned excuses into his allies.

يَعُدُّ إِحساني ذُنوباً كَما

يَعُدُّ إِحساني ذُنوباً كَما

أَعُدُّ مِنهُ الذَنبَ غُفرانا

أَعُدُّ مِنهُ الذَنبَ غُفرانا

He counts my kindness as sins, just as

He reckons my acts of kindness as sins, just as

I count his sin as forgiveness.

I reckon his offenses as pardon.

يا مُظهِراً في النَومِ هِجرانا

يا مُظهِراً في النَومِ هِجرانا

حَسبُكَ ما تَفعَلُ يَقظانا

حَسبُكَ ما تَفعَلُ يَقظانا

O you who show estrangement in sleep,

O you who manifests abandonment even in sleep,

What you do while awake is enough!

What you do while awake is enough for you.

لَو كُنتَ في حُبّيكَ لي مُنصِفاً

لَو كُنتَ في حُبّيكَ لي مُنصِفاً

جازَيتَ بِالإِحسانِ إِحسانا

جازَيتَ بِالإِحسانِ إِحسانا

If you were fair in your love for me,

Had you been just to me in your love,

You would repay kindness with kindness.

You would have requited kindness with kindness.
