يَمنعني وصلَه لِحَيْني

يَمنعني وصلَه لِحَيْني

كأنّما وصلَه حرامُ

كأنّما وصلَه حرامُ

He denies me union with him, to my ruin,

as though union with him were forbidden.

ولا كِتابٌ ولا جوابُ

ولا كِتابٌ ولا جوابُ

ولا سَلامٌ ولا كَلامُ

ولا سَلامٌ ولا كَلامُ

And no letter, and no reply,

and no greeting, and no words.
