أَنْتُمْ لِعَبْدِكُمُ أَحِبَّهْ

أَنْتُمْ لِعَبْدِكُمُ أَحِبَّهْ

وَلَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَقُّ صُحْبَهْ

وَلَهُ عَلَيْكُمْ حَقُّ صُحْبَهْ

You are your servant's beloved ones,

You are to your servant most beloved

and he has a companion's claim upon you.

And he has a right to your companionship

يا نَائِمينَ عَنِ المُسهَّدِ

يا نَائِمينَ عَنِ المُسهَّدِ

فَارِغينَ عَنِ المَحَبَّهْ

فَارِغينَ عَنِ المَحَبَّهْ

O you who sleep, heedless of the sleepless one,

O you who sleep heedless of friendship!

untroubled by love!

Empty of love and desire

وَاللَّه ما عِنْدِي مِنَ السُّلْ

وَاللَّه ما عِنْدِي مِنَ السُّلْ

وَانِ عَنْكُمْ وَزْنَ حَبَّهْ

وَانِ عَنْكُمْ وَزْنَ حَبَّهْ

By God, I have no solace

By God, I have no patience with loneliness

in forgetting you—not a grain's weight.

To be without you weighs heavily on my love

قَدْ كُنْتُمُ أُنْسِي فَهَا

قَدْ كُنْتُمُ أُنْسِي فَهَا

أَنَا بَعْدَكُمْ في دَارِ غُرْبَهْ

أَنَا بَعْدَكُمْ في دَارِ غُرْبَهْ

You were indeed my comfort; so here

You were once my comfort, but now

I am, after you, in an abode of exile.

I am in a land of loneliness after you

لاَ فُرِّجَتْ عَنْ مُهْجَتِي

لاَ فُرِّجَتْ عَنْ مُهْجَتِي

إِنْ مِلْتُ لِلسُّلوانِ كُرْبَهْ

إِنْ مِلْتُ لِلسُّلوانِ كُرْبَهْ

May my heart never be relieved—

My anguish cannot be relieved

if I incline toward forgetting—of any anguish.

If I complain of misery to anyone but you
