غضبتَ بلا سببٍ يُعرَف

غضبتَ بلا سببٍ يُعرَف

وجُرتَ عليَّ فما تُنصِف

وجُرتَ عليَّ فما تُنصِف

You grew angry for no known reason,

You got angry for no reason that's known

And you wronged me, showing no fairness.

And you were unfair to me, how unjust you've shown

وبي من هواكَ الذي بعضُهُ

وبي من هواكَ الذي بعضُهُ

ينوءُ به الموجَعُ المدنَف

ينوءُ به الموجَعُ المدنَف

And within me is love for you, part of which

And I have within me a passion for you

Weighs down the pain-stricken, wasting sufferer;

That makes my aching heart softly croon

وشوقٌ تحرقَ منهُ الحشا

وشوقٌ تحرقَ منهُ الحشا

إليكَ وعيني له تذرِفُ

إليكَ وعيني له تذرِفُ

And a longing that has set my entrails ablaze,

A yearning that sets the desert bushes ablaze

For you; and my eye sheds tears because of it.

My eyes rain tears for you, my beloved, my muse

صبرتُ على مرِّ مكروههِ

صبرتُ على مرِّ مكروههِ

ومثليَ عن مثله يضعُفُ

ومثليَ عن مثله يضعُفُ

I have patiently endured its bitter hardship,

I've been patient through bitterness and strife

Though one like me is too weak to bear its like.

Unlike me, others would simply refuse
