يا لَيل هَل مِن آخر

يا لَيل هَل مِن آخر

أَو غَفوة لِلساهر

أَو غَفوة لِلساهر

O night, is there an end,

O night, does it end

or a doze for the wakeful one?

Or is there a respite for the sleepless one

فَلَعَلَ مَن أَهواهُ يَس

فَلَعَلَ مَن أَهواهُ يَس

محُ لي بِطَيف زائر

محُ لي بِطَيف زائر

So perhaps the one I love will grant

Perhaps the one I love will smile

me a visiting phantom.

And visit me like a ghost

مَولايَ هَل مِن نَظرَة

مَولايَ هَل مِن نَظرَة

تَجلو غَشاوة ناظِري

تَجلو غَشاوة ناظِري

My lord, is there a glance

My lord, is there a glance

that clears the veil from my eye?

To clear the dimness of my eyes

قَطَعت قَلبي يا ظَلو

قَطَعت قَلبي يا ظَلو

م بِصَدك المُتواتر

م بِصَدك المُتواتر

You have torn my heart, O cruel one,

You have torn my heart, O frequent

with your continual rejection.

Rejection, with your repeated turning away

أَنحلتَني حَتّى بَقي

أَنحلتَني حَتّى بَقي

ت كَخَطرة في خاطر

ت كَخَطرة في خاطر

You have wasted me away until I am left

You have melted me until there remains

like a passing thought in a mind.

Only a whim in my mind
