بَرى جَسَدي ما بي مِنَ الحُبِّ بَعدَكُم

بَرى جَسَدي ما بي مِنَ الحُبِّ بَعدَكُم

فَيا لَيتَ شِعري كَيفَ وَجدُكُم بَعدي

فَيا لَيتَ شِعري كَيفَ وَجدُكُم بَعدي

The love within me has wasted my body since your departure.

My body is devoid of love after you

Oh, would that I knew how you have yearned since my departure.

Oh, would that I knew how you fared after me!

وَكُنتُ اِمرَأً صَعباً عَلى مَن يَقودُني

وَكُنتُ اِمرَأً صَعباً عَلى مَن يَقودُني

فَمَرَّغتُ في عَفرِ التُرابِ لَكم خَدّي

فَمَرَّغتُ في عَفرِ التُرابِ لَكم خَدّي

And I was a man hard for anyone to lead.

And I was a difficult man for anyone to lead

Yet for you I rubbed my cheek in the dust of the earth.

So I rubbed my cheek in the dust for you

فَدومي عَلى العَهدِ الَّذي كانَ بَينَنا

فَدومي عَلى العَهدِ الَّذي كانَ بَينَنا

فَإِنّي لَكُم ما دُمتُ حَيّاً عَلى العَهدِ

فَإِنّي لَكُم ما دُمتُ حَيّاً عَلى العَهدِ

So remain true to the pledge that was between us.

Then keep the pact that was between us

For I will keep that pledge to you as long as I live.

For I am yours, while alive, true to the pact
