جَدِّدْ عُهُودَ تَواصُلٍ وَتَلاقِ

جَدِّدْ عُهُودَ تَواصُلٍ وَتَلاقِ

وَاسْتَبْقِ لي رَمَقاً فَلَيْس بِباق

وَاسْتَبْقِ لي رَمَقاً فَلَيْس بِباق

Renew the pledges of communion and meeting.

Renew the covenants of communion and accord

And preserve for me a last spark of life, for it will not last.

And bring me sweet respite though naught here endures

وَاشْفَعْ إلى ما رَقَّ مِنْ تَرَفِ الصِّبا

وَاشْفَعْ إلى ما رَقَّ مِنْ تَرَفِ الصِّبا

في وَجْنَتَيْكَ بِرِقَّةِ الأَخْلَاقِ

في وَجْنَتَيْكَ بِرِقَّةِ الأَخْلَاقِ

And add to the tender luxuriance of youth

Intercede for what has faded of my youth’s bloom

In your cheeks the gentleness of character.

With the tender grace in your cheeks that allures
