طالَ لَيلي وَاِشتِياقي

طالَ لَيلي وَاِشتِياقي

وَيحَ نَفسي ما تُلاقي

وَيحَ نَفسي ما تُلاقي

My night and my longing have grown long.

My night has grown long, and longing

Alas for my soul—what it endures

And my soul, what trials it faces

مِن أُمورٍ تَعتَريها

مِن أُمورٍ تَعتَريها

هِيَ مِنها في السِياقِ

هِيَ مِنها في السِياقِ

of troubles that beset it;

From matters that afflict it

because of them, it is in its death throes.

It is bound in the context

فَاِشفَعوا لي عِندَ فَوزٍ

فَاِشفَعوا لي عِندَ فَوزٍ

فَلَقَد طالَ اِشتِياقي

فَلَقَد طالَ اِشتِياقي

So intercede for me with Fawz,

So intercede for me before triumph

for my longing has indeed grown long.

For my longing has indeed grown long

أَسهَرُ اللَيلَ كَأَنّي

أَسهَرُ اللَيلَ كَأَنّي

مِن هَواها في وَثاقِ

مِن هَواها في وَثاقِ

I stay awake through the night, as though I

I stay up nights as if

were in fetters from love for her.

I'm bound by passion for her

لا أُطيقُ الصَبرَ عَنها

لا أُطيقُ الصَبرَ عَنها

ضِقتُ ذَرعاً بِالفِراقِ

ضِقتُ ذَرعاً بِالفِراقِ

I cannot bear to be patient without her;

I cannot bear patience from her

I can no longer endure separation.

I'm extremely vexed by parting

لَستُ أَسلو عَن هَواها

لَستُ أَسلو عَن هَواها

أَبَداً حَتّى التَلاقي

أَبَداً حَتّى التَلاقي

I shall not forget my love for her,

I won't stop loving her

ever, until we meet.

Ever, until we meet

آهِ مِن حُبِّكِ وَيلي

آهِ مِن حُبِّكِ وَيلي

هُوَ لي مُرُّ المَذاقِ

هُوَ لي مُرُّ المَذاقِ

Ah, for love of you—woe is me!

Oh, your love pains me

It tastes bitter to me.

It is for me the bitterest taste
