ما كنتُ أعرفُ قدرَ أي

ما كنتُ أعرفُ قدرَ أي

يامي التي ذهبت ضياعا

يامي التي ذهبت ضياعا

I did not know the worth of my

I knew not the worth of my days

days that had gone to waste,

حتى فُجعتُ بها ولم

حتى فُجعتُ بها ولم

أسطِع لذاهبها ارتجاعا

أسطِع لذاهبها ارتجاعا

until I was bereft of them, and could not

Until they departed from me

bring back those that had passed.

And I could not bring them back in haste
