حَجَجتُ وَلَم أَحجِج لِذَنبٍ جَنَيتُهُ

حَجَجتُ وَلَم أَحجِج لِذَنبٍ جَنَيتُهُ

وَلَكِن لِتُعدي لي عَلى قاطِعِ الحَبلِ

وَلَكِن لِتُعدي لي عَلى قاطِعِ الحَبلِ

I made the pilgrimage, not for a sin I had committed,

I made pilgrimage, but not for any sin I committed,

But so that You might aid me against the one who severed the cord.

Rather so You would restore me after the severing.

ذَهَبتَ بِعَقلي في هَواها صَغيرَةً

ذَهَبتَ بِعَقلي في هَواها صَغيرَةً

وَقَد كَبِرَت سِنّي فَرُدَّ بِها عَقلي

وَقَد كَبِرَت سِنّي فَرُدَّ بِها عَقلي

You took away my reason in love for her when she was young.

You took my mind in her love when she was young,

And now my age has advanced; restore my reason through her.

Now I am old, return my mind to me.

وَإِلّا فَساوِ الحُبَّ بَيني وَبَينَها

وَإِلّا فَساوِ الحُبَّ بَيني وَبَينَها

فَإِنَّكَ يا مَولايَ تَحكُمُ بِالعَدلِ

فَإِنَّكَ يا مَولايَ تَحكُمُ بِالعَدلِ

Otherwise, make love equal between me and her,

Otherwise, make love equal between her and I,

For You, O my Lord, judge with justice.

For You, my Master, judge with justice.
