يا مَنْ أرِيحَ مِنَ الْفِراق

يا مَنْ أرِيحَ مِنَ الْفِراق

وفِراقُهُ بِالْهَجْرِ باقِي

وفِراقُهُ بِالْهَجْرِ باقِي

O one who was relieved of parting,

O you who I find solace from separation in

O you who have been relieved of separation,

Yet whose parting endures through estrangement.

Yet his separation through estrangement remains

While his separation remains through abandonment,

أَهْوَى الْفِراقَ وَإنْ رَأَيْ

أَهْوَى الْفِراقَ وَإنْ رَأَيْ

تُ المَوْتَ فِي شَخْصِ الفِراقِ

تُ المَوْتَ فِي شَخْصِ الفِراقِ

I love parting, even if I have seen

I yearn for separation, even if I see

I desire the parting, even if I view

Death in the person of parting,

Death in the entity of separation

Death itself within the form of separation,

لِتَقارُبٍ عِنْد الْوَداعِ

لِتَقارُبٍ عِنْد الْوَداعِ

وَقُبْلَةٍ عِنْدَ العِناقِ

وَقُبْلَةٍ عِنْدَ العِناقِ

For a drawing close at farewell,

For a coming together at the farewell

For the sake of closeness at the farewell,

And a kiss at the embrace.

And a kiss at the embrace

And a kiss shared during the embrace.
