ارحمِ العينَ التي لم تنمِِ

ارحمِ العينَ التي لم تنمِِ

تسهرُ الليلَ وتبكي بِدَمِ

تسهرُ الليلَ وتبكي بِدَمِ

Have mercy on the eye that has not slept,

Have mercy on the eye that did not sleep

that stays awake all night and weeps blood.

It stays up all night and weeps with blood

واشفِ قلباً انتَ قد عودتَهُ

واشفِ قلباً انتَ قد عودتَهُ

ولهُ الصبرُ بطولِ الألمِ

ولهُ الصبرُ بطولِ الألمِ

And heal a heart you have already schooled;

And heal a heart that you have accustomed

and it has patience through prolonged pain.

And for it, patience with the length of pain

كتمَ الشوقَ فلولا وكفت

كتمَ الشوقَ فلولا وكفت

عبرةُ العينينِ لم ينكتِمِ

عبرةُ العينينِ لم ينكتِمِ

It concealed longing; but without the flow

It concealed longing, and if not for the tears

of tears from both eyes, it would not have been concealed.

Of the eyes it would not have concealed

يأمر الحسنُ عليهِ وله

يأمر الحسنُ عليهِ وله

بكَ عاذَت مُهجَتي من سَقمِي

بكَ عاذَت مُهجَتي من سَقمِي

Beauty rules, against it and in its favor;

Beauty commands it, and for it

in you my soul sought refuge from my sickness.

Weeping has cured my love-sick heart
