الجسمُ في بَلَدٍ وَالرُّوحُ في بَلَدِ

الجسمُ في بَلَدٍ وَالرُّوحُ في بَلَدِ

يَا وحشَة الرُّوحِ بَلْ يَا غُربَةَ الجَسَدِ

يَا وحشَة الرُّوحِ بَلْ يَا غُربَةَ الجَسَدِ

The body is in one land, and the soul in another.

The body in one country, the soul in another

O loneliness of the soul—rather, O exile of the body!

O loneliness of the soul! O strangeness of the body!

إِنْ تَبْكِ عَيْنَاكَ لي يَا مَنْ كلِفْتُ بِهِ

إِنْ تَبْكِ عَيْنَاكَ لي يَا مَنْ كلِفْتُ بِهِ

مِنْ رَحمَةٍ فَهُما سَهْمانِ في كَبِدي

مِنْ رَحمَةٍ فَهُما سَهْمانِ في كَبِدي

If your eyes weep for me, O you whom I adore,

If your eyes weep for me, o you whom I charged

out of compassion, then they are two arrows in my liver.

With mercy, they are arrows in my heart
