1. عُدنا وعدتِ وعادت

    إن الحظوظ أرادت

    We returned, you returned, and it returned;

    Indeed, fortune willed it,

  2. وبالعجائب جاءت

    وما بذاك غريبه

    And came bearing wonders,

    And is no stranger to such things.

  3. إن الغريب التَّنائي

    فإن فيه شقائي

    Indeed, the strange thing is separation,

    For in it lies my misery.

  4. وإن أردت دوائي

    داوي الهوى ولهيبه

    And if you wish for my cure,

    Soothe love and its blaze.

  5. أنت المنى والعباده

    وليس عندي زياده

    You are my every wish and my worship,

    And I have nothing more to add.

  6. يا هند هذي شهاده

    لو أنَّها مطلوبه

    O Hind, this is a testimony,

    Were it to be requested.

  7. وأنت منّي كنفسي

    هواك يومي وأمسي

    And you are to me as my very self;

    Loving you is my today and my yesterday,

  8. وأنتِ جهري وهمسي

    صديقةً وحبيبه

    And you are my loud speech and my whisper,

    A friend and a beloved.
