شَغَلْتُ قلبي وَسَمْعي في مَودَّتِكُمْ

شَغَلْتُ قلبي وَسَمْعي في مَودَّتِكُمْ

لا خَلَّصَ اللّهُ قلبي مِنْ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ

لا خَلَّصَ اللّهُ قلبي مِنْ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ

I have occupied my heart and hearing with love for you.

I preoccupied my heart and hearing with love of you,

May God never free my heart from love for you,

May God not free my heart from loving you,

ولا رُزِقْتُ حياةً بَعْدَ بَيْنِكُمُ

ولا رُزِقْتُ حياةً بَعْدَ بَيْنِكُمُ

إِنْ لَم أَمُتْ نَدَماً مِنْ بَعْدِ فُرْقَتِكُمْ

إِنْ لَم أَمُتْ نَدَماً مِنْ بَعْدِ فُرْقَتِكُمْ

Nor may I be granted life after parting from you,

Nor grant me life after separation from you,

If I do not die of regret after separation from you.

If I do not die regretting after being parted from you.

هَا قَدْ غَضِبْتُ عَلَى رُوحي لِأَجْلِكُمُ

هَا قَدْ غَضِبْتُ عَلَى رُوحي لِأَجْلِكُمُ

حتى جَفَوتُ حَياتي عِند جَفوَتِكُمْ

حتى جَفَوتُ حَياتي عِند جَفوَتِكُمْ

Behold, I have grown angry with my soul for your sake,

Behold, I was angry with my soul because of you,

So much that I spurned my life at your coldness.

Until I shunned my life when you shunned me.

إذا تَلَهَّبَ جمرُ الشوقِ في كَبِدي

إذا تَلَهَّبَ جمرُ الشوقِ في كَبِدي

أَطْفاهُ ماءُ التَّلاقي عِنْدَ رُؤْيَتِكُمْ

أَطْفاهُ ماءُ التَّلاقي عِنْدَ رُؤْيَتِكُمْ

When the embers of longing blaze in my liver,

When the embers of longing flare up in my liver,

The water of reunion quenches them at the sight of you.

The water of meeting you extinguishes it when I see you.
