سقى اللَهُ أياماً لنا ولياليا

سقى اللَهُ أياماً لنا ولياليا

لهن بأكناف الشباب ملاعب

لهن بأكناف الشباب ملاعب

May God water the days and nights that were ours,

God has watered for us days and nights

Whose playgrounds lay in the precincts of youth,

In the bosoms of youth there are playgrounds

إذ العيش غض والزمان بغبطة

إذ العيش غض والزمان بغبطة

وشاهد آفات المحبين غائب

وشاهد آفات المحبين غائب

When life was fresh and time was filled with bliss,

When life is fresh and time is blissful

And the witness to lovers’ afflictions was absent.

And the jealous eyes of lovers are absent
