يا ذا الَّذي مِنْ هَجْرِ ودٍّ مَا اكتَفى

يا ذا الَّذي مِنْ هَجْرِ ودٍّ مَا اكتَفى

أَلا جَعَلْتَ مِنَ الخِيانَةِ لِي وَفا

أَلا جَعَلْتَ مِنَ الخِيانَةِ لِي وَفا

O you who have not had enough of forsaking love,

O you whose abandonment did not have enough of hostility

Would you not turn betrayal into faithfulness for me,

Why did you not make betrayal into loyalty for me

وَجَنَيْتَ مِنْ شَجَرِ القِلى بِيَدِ الهَوى

وَجَنَيْتَ مِنْ شَجَرِ القِلى بِيَدِ الهَوى

مِمَّا غَرَسْتَ بِمُهجَتي ثَمَرَ الجَفا

مِمَّا غَرَسْتَ بِمُهجَتي ثَمَرَ الجَفا

And gather from the trees of hatred, with the hand of love,

And you reaped from the tree of anguish with the hand of passion

From what you planted in my heart, the fruit of estrangement?

That which you planted in my heart bore the fruit of harshness

فَهِلالُ وَصْلِكَ في سَماءِ مَوَدَّتي

فَهِلالُ وَصْلِكَ في سَماءِ مَوَدَّتي

بِكُسوفِ هَجْرِكَ قَد أَضَرَّ بِهِ الخَفا

بِكُسوفِ هَجْرِكَ قَد أَضَرَّ بِهِ الخَفا

Thus the crescent of union with you, in the sky of my affection,

So the crescent of your union in the sky of my affection

Has been harmed by concealment through the eclipse of your abandonment.

With the eclipse of your abandonment has been damaged by obscurity

فَمَتى تكَشَّفَ غَيْمُ سُخْطِكَ بِالرِّضا

فَمَتى تكَشَّفَ غَيْمُ سُخْطِكَ بِالرِّضا

عَنِّي وَعَنْهُ كانَ مِنْهُ تَطَرُّفا

عَنِّي وَعَنْهُ كانَ مِنْهُ تَطَرُّفا

So whenever the cloud of your displeasure clears through goodwill

So when will the cloud of your anger dissipate with satisfaction

From me and from it, that would be a novelty on its part.

From me and from it, there was aloofness from it

أَسَلُ الَّذي بِالهَجْرِ أَخْلَقَ جِدَّتي

أَسَلُ الَّذي بِالهَجْرِ أَخْلَقَ جِدَّتي

أَنْ لا يُكَدِّرَ مِنْ وِصالِكَ مَا صَفا

أَنْ لا يُكَدِّرَ مِنْ وِصالِكَ مَا صَفا

I ask the one who has worn out my freshness through abandonment

I ask the one who with abandonment corrupted my calmness

Not to cloud what is clear in union with you.

To not disturb from your union what is pure
