لَعَمرُكَ إِنّي نازِلٌ بِأُيايِرٍ

لَعَمرُكَ إِنّي نازِلٌ بِأُيايِرٍ

يِصَوءَر مُشتاقٌ وَإِن كُنتُ مُكرَما

يِصَوءَر مُشتاقٌ وَإِن كُنتُ مُكرَما

By your life, I am lodging at Uyayir,

By your life, I indeed have pitched my tents in Uyayna,

at Saw'ar, yearning, though I am honored.

Yearning for you as if awake though honored guests slumber.

أَبيتُ كَأَنّي أَرمَدُ العَينِ ساهِرٌ

أَبيتُ كَأَنّي أَرمَدُ العَينِ ساهِرٌ

إِذا باتَ أَصحابي مِنَ اللَيلِ نُوَّما

إِذا باتَ أَصحابي مِنَ اللَيلِ نُوَّما

I spend the night awake, as though my eye were inflamed,

I remain as though sleepless though my companions sleep at night,

when my companions spend the night asleep.

When honored guests have fallen asleep through the night.
