ما اعْتَادَ عَيْنِي غَمْضُ

ما اعْتَادَ عَيْنِي غَمْضُ

مُذْ أَنْتَ عَنِّي مُعْرِضُ

مُذْ أَنْتَ عَنِّي مُعْرِضُ

No sleep has visited my eye

My eyes are not accustomed to sleep

Since you turned away from me.

Since you turned away from me.

لَمْ يَبْقَ إِلاَّ كَبِدٌ

لَمْ يَبْقَ إِلاَّ كَبِدٌ

حَرَّي وَقَلْبٌ مُرْمَضُ

حَرَّي وَقَلْبٌ مُرْمَضُ

Nothing remains but a liver

Nothing remains but a burning liver,

Parched, and a scorched heart,

And a heart pierced with sorrows,

وَمُهْجَةٌ عَلِيْلَةٌ

وَمُهْجَةٌ عَلِيْلَةٌ

جُثْمَانُهَا مُنْتَقَضُ

جُثْمَانُهَا مُنْتَقَضُ

And an ailing soul,

And a frail body

Its body falling apart.

Whose limbs are all diseased.

مَا فِيْهِ مِنْ جَارِحَةٍ

مَا فِيْهِ مِنْ جَارِحَةٍ

إِلاَّ وَفِيْهَا مَرَضُ

إِلاَّ وَفِيْهَا مَرَضُ

There is no limb in it

There is no part of me

That is not afflicted with disease.

That does not bear an illness.

أَنْتَ حَيَاةٌ لِي وَمَا

أَنْتَ حَيَاةٌ لِي وَمَا

لِي مِنْ حَيَاةٍ عِوَضُ

لِي مِنْ حَيَاةٍ عِوَضُ

You are life to me, and no

You are my life, and without you

Substitute for life is mine.

I have no life in your stead.
