كَتَبتُها مِن آمِدِ

كَتَبتُها مِن آمِدِ

عَن فَرطِ شَوقٍ زائِدِ

عَن فَرطِ شَوقٍ زائِدِ

I wrote it from Amid,

I wrote it out of excessive longing

out of an excess of mounting longing.

For I miss you more than words can say

وَاللَهِ مُذ فارَقتُكُم لَم

وَاللَهِ مُذ فارَقتُكُم لَم

تَصفُ لي مَوارِدي

تَصفُ لي مَوارِدي

By God, since I parted from you, never

Since we parted, my life has lost its joy

have my waters run clear for me.

My days are not what they used to be

فَهَل زَماني بَعدَها

فَهَل زَماني بَعدَها

بِقُربِكُم مُساعِدي

بِقُربِكُم مُساعِدي

So will my fate, after this,

Will we ever be close again?

favor me with nearness to you?

My heart yearns to be by your side

فَكَم نَذورٍ أَصبَحَت

فَكَم نَذورٍ أَصبَحَت

عَلَيَّ لِلمَساجِدِ

عَلَيَّ لِلمَساجِدِ

For so many vows have become

So many promises made, should we meet

binding upon me for the mosques!

In devotion, I'd spend my life in prayer

وَهَبتُ باقي عُمُري

وَهَبتُ باقي عُمُري

لَكُم بِيَومٍ واحِدِ

لَكُم بِيَومٍ واحِدِ

I have given the rest of my life

Just to be with you for a single day

to you in exchange for a single day.

I'd give all the years that remain of my life
