ما لي وما لَكَ يا فراق

ما لي وما لَكَ يا فراق

أبداً رحيلٌ وانطلاق

أبداً رحيلٌ وانطلاق

What have I to do with you, O parting?

What is mine and what is yours, o separation

Always departure and setting forth.

Forever leaving and departing

يا نفسُ مُوتي بَعدَهُم

يا نفسُ مُوتي بَعدَهُم

فكذا يكونُ الاشتياق

فكذا يكونُ الاشتياق

O soul, die after they have gone;

O my soul, die after them

For such is longing.

For such is longing
