ياO مانعيyou who deny me وصالunion منthe one whom أحببتهُI loved him
يا مانعي وصال من أحببتهُ
بزواجرthrough warnings قدalready خافهاhe feared them ونواهand he intended it
بزواجر قد خافها ونواه
O you who deny me union with the one I have loved,
O you who prevent me from joining my beloved
Through warnings he feared, though he intended that union.
With threats he fears and intentions he avoids

اللهُ أعطاني حبيبا مُخلصا
فمنعتمونيso you denied me منfrom عطاءthe gift of اللّهGod

God gave me a devoted beloved,
God has granted me a loyal lover
Yet you denied me the gift of God.
Yet you prevent me from God's gift
