يَا رَاحِلاً غَابَ صَبْرِي بَعْدَ فُرْقَتِهِ

يَا رَاحِلاً غَابَ صَبْرِي بَعْدَ فُرْقَتِهِ

وَأَصْبَحَتْ أَسْهُمُ الأَشْوَاقِ تُصْمِينِي

وَأَصْبَحَتْ أَسْهُمُ الأَشْوَاقِ تُصْمِينِي

O departed one, after whose parting my patience vanished,

O you who departed, my patience faded after your leave

And the arrows of longing now slay me.

And the arrows of longing besiege me

إِنْ كَانَ يُرْضِيكَ مَا أَلْقَاهُ مِنْ كَمَدٍ

إِنْ كَانَ يُرْضِيكَ مَا أَلْقَاهُ مِنْ كَمَدٍ

فِي الْحُبِّ مُذْ غِبْتَ عَنِّي فَهْوَ يُرْضِينِي

فِي الْحُبِّ مُذْ غِبْتَ عَنِّي فَهْوَ يُرْضِينِي

If you are pleased by the anguish I endure

If what I endured of sadness since you've been away pleases you

In love since you left me, then it pleases me.

Then it equally appeases me

لَمْ أَلْقَ بَعْدَكَ يَوْماً أَسْتَبِينُ بِهِ

لَمْ أَلْقَ بَعْدَكَ يَوْماً أَسْتَبِينُ بِهِ

وَجْهَ الْمَسَرَّةِ إِلَّا ظَلَّ يُبْكِينِي

وَجْهَ الْمَسَرَّةِ إِلَّا ظَلَّ يُبْكِينِي

Since you left, I have found no day on which I discerned

Since you left, I have not seen a single day

The face of joy without that day keeping me in tears.

Where joy did not make me weep

قَدْ كُنْتُ لا أَكْتَفِي بِالشَّمْلِ مُجْتَمِعَاً

قَدْ كُنْتُ لا أَكْتَفِي بِالشَّمْلِ مُجْتَمِعَاً

فَالْيَوْمَ نَظْرَةُ عَيْنٍ مِنْكَ تَكْفِينِي

فَالْيَوْمَ نَظْرَةُ عَيْنٍ مِنْكَ تَكْفِينِي

I was once not content with our being together;

I was never satisfied by being together

Yet today a glance from your eye is enough for me.

Now a mere gaze from you would suffice me
