مِن هَجرِكَ هاجَرَ الكَرى أَجفاني

مِن هَجرِكَ هاجَرَ الكَرى أَجفاني

فارقتُك يَوماً فَنَمَت أَشجاني

فارقتُك يَوماً فَنَمَت أَشجاني

Because you forsook me, sleep forsook my eyelids.

Because of your estrangement, slumber has deserted my eyelids.

I parted from you for a day, and my sorrows grew.

I parted from you for a day, and my sorrows grew.

قَد أَثَّرَ هَجرُ ليلَةٍ واحِدَةٍ

قَد أَثَّرَ هَجرُ ليلَةٍ واحِدَةٍ

يا وَيليَ إِن طالَ مَدى الهجرانِ

يا وَيليَ إِن طالَ مَدى الهجرانِ

One single night’s separation has already taken its toll—

A single night's separation has already left its mark.

woe is me if the time of separation drags on.

Woe to me if the separation lasts long!
