ما حَلَّ في الحُبّ لَوْمُ

ما حَلَّ في الحُبّ لَوْمُ

ولا حَلاَ فيه نَوْمُ

ولا حَلاَ فيه نَوْمُ

No blame is permitted in love,

No blame in love,

Nor is sleep sweet in it.

No rest in it either.

بِالعَين عن كلِّ وجهٍ

بِالعَين عن كلِّ وجهٍ

سواكَ مذ غبتَ صَوْمُ

سواكَ مذ غبتَ صَوْمُ

My eye has fasted from every face

Since you've been gone,

But yours, since you went away.

I shield my eyes from all faces but yours.

صبراً فللحُزْن يومٌ

صبراً فللحُزْن يومٌ

وللمَسرّة يوم

وللمَسرّة يوم

Be patient, for sorrow has its day,

Patience! Grief has its day,

And joy has its day.

Joy has its day.
