سَأَلتُ بِحَقِّ هَذا الشَهرِ أَلّا

سَأَلتُ بِحَقِّ هَذا الشَهرِ أَلّا

رَجَعتِ إِلى المَوَدَّةِ وَالوِصالِ

رَجَعتِ إِلى المَوَدَّةِ وَالوِصالِ

I implored you, by the sanctity of this month: will you not

I begged you for the sanctity of this month, do not

Return to affection and union?

Return to intimacy and reunion

فَأَنتِ وَإِن أَضَعتِ الوُدَّ عِندي

فَأَنتِ وَإِن أَضَعتِ الوُدَّ عِندي

بِمَنزِلَةِ اليَمينِ مِنَ الشِمالِ

بِمَنزِلَةِ اليَمينِ مِنَ الشِمالِ

For you, even if you have forsaken love, are to me

Yet you, though you have lost affection for me

As the right hand is to the left.

Are like my right hand is to my left
