أَنا مُذ صارَ لي سَكَن

أَنا مُذ صارَ لي سَكَن

في ضُروبٍ مِنَ الحَزَن

في ضُروبٍ مِنَ الحَزَن

Since I came to have a beloved,

Since sorrow became my home

I have known many kinds of sorrow.

And wandering my mind night and day without sleep

هائِمُ العَقلِ في نَها

هائِمُ العَقلِ في نَها

ري وَلَيلي بِلا وَسَن

ري وَلَيلي بِلا وَسَن

My mind wanders during my day-

Would that I could return to what I was

time, and my night is without slumber.

A shepherd with no tether

لَيتَني عُدتُ مِثلَ ما

لَيتَني عُدتُ مِثلَ ما

كُنتُ أَرعى بِلا رَسَن

كُنتُ أَرعى بِلا رَسَن

If only I could return to the way

I used to graze without a halter.
