خَليلَيَّ هَل مِن مُسعِدٍ لي عَلى كَربي

خَليلَيَّ هَل مِن مُسعِدٍ لي عَلى كَربي

فَقَد زادَ حَتى خِفتُ مِنهُ عَلى قَلبي

فَقَد زادَ حَتى خِفتُ مِنهُ عَلى قَلبي

My two friends, is there anyone to help me in my anguish?

My friend, is there anyone who can ease my troubles?

For it has grown until I feared for my heart because of it.

For they have grown until I fear for my heart.

خَليلَيَّ إِن فاوَضتُّما مَن أُحِبُّهُ

خَليلَيَّ إِن فاوَضتُّما مَن أُحِبُّهُ

فَلا تَكتَماهُ ما أُقاسيهِ مِن حُبِّ

فَلا تَكتَماهُ ما أُقاسيهِ مِن حُبِّ

My two friends, if you speak with the one I love,

My friend, if we meet whom I love,

Then do not hide from him what I suffer from love.

Do not conceal my suffering from loving him.

عَساهُ عَلى ضَعفي تُصَدَّقُ بِالرِضا

عَساهُ عَلى ضَعفي تُصَدَّقُ بِالرِضا

فَما لِيَ ما أَقضي بِهِ شَهوَ القُربِ

فَما لِيَ ما أَقضي بِهِ شَهوَ القُربِ

Perhaps, in view of my weakness, he will graciously grant his favor,

Perhaps he will show me mercy in my weakness

For I have nothing with which to satisfy my longing for nearness.

And fulfill my desire for nearness.
