مَلَكَ الغَرامُ عِنانِيَه

مَلَكَ الغَرامُ عِنانِيَه

فَاليَومُ طالَ عَنائِيَه

فَاليَومُ طالَ عَنائِيَه

Passion has seized my reins;

The king of love took my reins,

so today my suffering has grown long.

So today my troubles are prolonged.

مَن لي بِقَلبٍ أَشتَري

مَن لي بِقَلبٍ أَشتَري

هِ مِنَ القُلوبِ القاسِيَه

هِ مِنَ القُلوبِ القاسِيَه

Who will find me a heart to buy

Who will give me a heart to buy,

from among the hard hearts?

Other than these hard hearts?

وَإِلَيكَ يا مَلِكَ المِلا

وَإِلَيكَ يا مَلِكَ المِلا

حِ وَقَفتُ أَشكو حالِيَه

حِ وَقَفتُ أَشكو حالِيَه

And before you, O king of the beautiful,

And to you, O king of the kingdom,

I stand, lamenting my plight.

I stand complaining of my state.

مَولايَ يا قَلبي العَزي

مَولايَ يا قَلبي العَزي

زَ وَيا حَياتي الغالِيَه

زَ وَيا حَياتي الغالِيَه

My lord, O my dear heart,

My master, O my dear soul,

and O my precious life,

And O my precious life.

إِنّي لَأَطلُبُ حاجَةً

إِنّي لَأَطلُبُ حاجَةً

لَيسَت عَلَيكَ بِخافِيَه

لَيسَت عَلَيكَ بِخافِيَه

I am indeed asking a favor

I ask for something,

that is not hidden from you.

Which is not hidden from you.

أَنعِم عَلَيَّ بِقُبلَةٍ

أَنعِم عَلَيَّ بِقُبلَةٍ

هِبَةً وَإِلّا عارِيَه

هِبَةً وَإِلّا عارِيَه

Grant me a kiss,

Bestow upon me a kiss,

as a gift—or else on loan.

A gift, lest it be deprived.

وَأُعيدُها لَكَ لا عَدِم

وَأُعيدُها لَكَ لا عَدِم

تَ بِعَينِها وَكما هِيَه

تَ بِعَينِها وَكما هِيَه

And I shall return it to you—may you never be deprived—

And I will return it to you, unharmed,

the very same, just as it is.

Just as it is with its eyes.

وَإِذا أَرَدتَ زِيادَةً

وَإِذا أَرَدتَ زِيادَةً

خُذها وَنَفسي راضِيَه

خُذها وَنَفسي راضِيَه

And if you wish for more,

And if you want more,

take it; my soul is willing.

Take it while my soul is pleased.

فَعَسى يَجودُ لَنا الزَما

فَعَسى يَجودُ لَنا الزَما

نُ بِخَلوَةٍ في زاوِيَه

نُ بِخَلوَةٍ في زاوِيَه

So perhaps time will grant us

Maybe time will be generous to us,

a private moment in a corner,

With seclusion in a corner.

أَو لَيتَني أَلقاكَ وَح

أَو لَيتَني أَلقاكَ وَح

دَكَ في طَريقٍ خالِيَه

دَكَ في طَريقٍ خالِيَه

or would that I might meet you

Or would that I find you alone,

alone on a deserted road.

On an empty road.
