العاشِقانِ كِلاهُما مُتَغَضِّبُ

العاشِقانِ كِلاهُما مُتَغَضِّبُ

وَكِلاهُما مُتَشَوِّقٌ مُتَطَرِّبُ

وَكِلاهُما مُتَشَوِّقٌ مُتَطَرِّبُ

The two lovers are both angry.

Both lovers are angry,

And both are yearning, stirred with passion.

And both are longing and troubled.

صَدَّت مُراغِمَةً وَصَدَّ مُراغِماً

صَدَّت مُراغِمَةً وَصَدَّ مُراغِماً

وَكِلاهُما مِمّا يُعالِجُ مُتعَبُ

وَكِلاهُما مِمّا يُعالِجُ مُتعَبُ

She turned away in defiance, and he turned away in defiance.

They refused intimacy, and refused an intimate;

And both are exhausted by what they endure.

Both are exhausted by what they are going through.

راجِع أَحَبَّتُكَ الَّذينَ هَجَرتَهُم

راجِع أَحَبَّتُكَ الَّذينَ هَجَرتَهُم

إِنَّ المُتَيَّمَ قَلَّ ما يَتَجَنَّبُ

إِنَّ المُتَيَّمَ قَلَّ ما يَتَجَنَّبُ

Return to your loved ones whom you have forsaken.

Go back to those you loved, whom you've abandoned,

Indeed, one enslaved by love seldom keeps away.

For the orphan rarely avoids.

إِنَّ التَجنُّبَ إِن تَمَكَّنَ مِنكُما

إِنَّ التَجنُّبَ إِن تَمَكَّنَ مِنكُما

دَبَّ السُلُوُّ لَهُ فَعَزَّ المَطلَبُ

دَبَّ السُلُوُّ لَهُ فَعَزَّ المَطلَبُ

Indeed, if estrangement takes hold of you both,

Avoidance, if it takes hold of you both,

Forgetfulness creeps in because of it, and what you seek grows hard to attain.

Makes wishing impossible and the goal remote.
