حسن الوَفاء وَصدق الود قَد صرعا

حسن الوَفاء وَصدق الود قَد صرعا

وَاستَوحشا بِفياني الغَدرِ وَاِنصَدَعا

وَاستَوحشا بِفياني الغَدرِ وَاِنصَدَعا

The beauty of fidelity and the sincerity of affection have been laid low.

The goodness of loyalty and the truth of love are stricken down

And both grew desolate in the wastes of treachery and were rent apart.

And find desolation through my betrayal and perfidy.

كِلاهُما مِن سِقام لا مساس لَهُ

كِلاهُما مِن سِقام لا مساس لَهُ

حُزنا عَلى الحَقِّ وَالاِنصافِ مُذ رَفَعا

حُزنا عَلى الحَقِّ وَالاِنصافِ مُذ رَفَعا

Both stricken by an illness beyond touch,

Both suffer from an illness beyond remedy -

In grief for truth and fairness, since both were taken away.

Grief for what is right and just since they were cast aside.

وَقَد رَأَيت الشَفا بِالصَبرِ مُمتَزِجا

وَقَد رَأَيت الشَفا بِالصَبرِ مُمتَزِجا

وَالصَبرُ اِحمد ما اِجدى وَما نَفَعا

وَالصَبرُ اِحمد ما اِجدى وَما نَفَعا

And I have seen healing mingled with patience,

Yet I see that healing lies in patience,

And patience is the most praiseworthy of all that helps and benefits.

And patience, best of all I try, is fruitless.

فَاِستَعمِل الصَبرَ اِنَّ الصبر موقعه

فَاِستَعمِل الصَبرَ اِنَّ الصبر موقعه

من القُلوبِ جَميل أَينَما وَقَعا

من القُلوبِ جَميل أَينَما وَقَعا

So practice patience; indeed, patience's place

So make use of patience, for patience falls

In hearts is beautiful, wherever it settles.

Gently on hearts wherever patience lands.

يا سادَة خلفوني بَعد فرقتهِم

يا سادَة خلفوني بَعد فرقتهِم

اِهفو اِلى كل داعِ بِالغَرامِ دَعا

اِهفو اِلى كل داعِ بِالغَرامِ دَعا

O lords who left me after their parting,

O masters, left behind when we were parted,

I yearn toward every caller who called out in passionate love.

Answer the call of one who loves with longing.

قَد ضَرَّني البُعد عَن مِرآة طلعتِكُم

قَد ضَرَّني البُعد عَن مِرآة طلعتِكُم

وَقطع القُلوبِ منى صدكم قَطعا

وَقطع القُلوبِ منى صدكم قَطعا

Distance from the mirror of your countenance has harmed me,

Remote from the radiance of your faces, I'm hurt,

And your rejection has utterly torn my hearts apart.

And your disdain has severed my heart with a cut.
