يا مَن وَهَبتُ لَهُ روحي فَعَذَّبَها

يا مَن وَهَبتُ لَهُ روحي فَعَذَّبَها

وَرُمتُ تَخليصَها مِنهُ فَلَم أُطِقِ

وَرُمتُ تَخليصَها مِنهُ فَلَم أُطِقِ

O one to whom I gave my soul, who then tormented it,

O You to whom I gave my soul, and he tortured it

And I sought to free it from him, but could not.

I wanted to save it from him, but I was not able

أَدرك بَقيةَ نَفسٍ فيكَ قَد تَلِفَت

أَدرك بَقيةَ نَفسٍ فيكَ قَد تَلِفَت

قَبل المَمات فَهذا آخر الرَمَقِ

قَبل المَمات فَهذا آخر الرَمَقِ

Save what remains of a soul that has perished because of you,

Realize the rest of myself in you, it was exhausted

Before death, for this is the last breath of life.

Before death, this is the last breath

وَلَو مَضى الكُلُّ مِنها لَم يَكُن عَجَباً

وَلَو مَضى الكُلُّ مِنها لَم يَكُن عَجَباً

وَاِنَّما عَجَبي لِلبَعضِ كَيفَ بَقي

وَاِنَّما عَجَبي لِلبَعضِ كَيفَ بَقي

And even if all of it had passed away, it would have been no wonder;

If it was all gone, it would not be strange

My only wonder is how a part of it has remained.

Rather, my wonder is for some of it, how did it remain
