كَمْ زفراتٍ وكم دُمُوع

كَمْ زفراتٍ وكم دُمُوع

هذا لَعَمري هُوَ القُطُوعُ

هذا لَعَمري هُوَ القُطُوعُ

How many sighs, and how many tears!

How many sighs and how many tears

This, by my life, is estrangement.

This, by my life, is true misery

لَوْ أَعْشَبَ الخَدُّ مِنْ دُمُوعٍ

لَوْ أَعْشَبَ الخَدُّ مِنْ دُمُوعٍ

لَكانَ في خَدِّيَ الرَّبيعُ

لَكانَ في خَدِّيَ الرَّبيعُ

If the cheek sprouted grass from tears,

If my cheek sprouted from tears

Spring would be upon my cheek.

Spring would be in my cheek

يا قَمَراً غَابَ عَنْ عِياني

يا قَمَراً غَابَ عَنْ عِياني

بِاللَهِ قُلْ لي مَتى الطُّلوعُ

بِاللَهِ قُلْ لي مَتى الطُّلوعُ

O moon that vanished from my sight,

O moon that disappeared from my eyes

By God, tell me: when will you rise?

For God's sake, tell me when is sunrise

بِنْتَ فَما بِنْتَ عَنْ فُؤادي

بِنْتَ فَما بِنْتَ عَنْ فُؤادي

فَبَانَ مِنْ بَيْنِكَ الهُجُوعُ

فَبَانَ مِنْ بَيْنِكَ الهُجُوعُ

You departed, yet did not depart from my heart;

You left, yet you didn't leave my heart

So sleep departed because of your departure.

Parting between us became evident
