حَسَدَتْنا أَيَّامُنا بِالتَّلاقي

حَسَدَتْنا أَيَّامُنا بِالتَّلاقي

فَرَمَتْنَا تَعَسُّفاً بِالفِراقِ

فَرَمَتْنَا تَعَسُّفاً بِالفِراقِ

Our days envied us our union,

Our days envied us when we met

so unjustly struck us with parting.

So they arbitrarily cast us asunder

مَا أَرَدْنا الفِراقَ لا كانَ مِنَّا

مَا أَرَدْنا الفِراقَ لا كانَ مِنَّا

أَشْمَتَ اللَهُ بِالفِراقِ التَّلاقي

أَشْمَتَ اللَهُ بِالفِراقِ التَّلاقي

We did not wish for parting—may it never be our doing.

We did not want to part, it was not our doing

May God make union gloat over parting.

God has brought relief through reunion after separation
