يا مَن نَزَحوا عَني فَأَمست عَيني

يا مَن نَزَحوا عَني فَأَمست عَيني

تُجري دَمعاً كَأَنَّهُ من عَينِ

تُجري دَمعاً كَأَنَّهُ من عَينِ

O you who have gone far from me, so that my eye now

O you who have moved away from me, so my eyes

pours out tears as though from a spring.

Shed tears as if they were from a spring

ما كُنتُ برِوحي عائِداً بَعدَكُمُ

ما كُنتُ برِوحي عائِداً بَعدَكُمُ

لولا دَهشتي وَرَوعَتي للبَينِ

لولا دَهشتي وَرَوعَتي للبَينِ

I would not have returned alive after you left,

I wouldn't have returned by myself after you all

but for my bewilderment and my terror at parting.

If not for my shock and awe of separation
