تَرَكَت قَلبي قَريحا

تَرَكَت قَلبي قَريحا

لا أَراهُ مُستَريحا

لا أَراهُ مُستَريحا

She left my heart wounded;

You left my heart in turmoil

I do not see it at rest.

I cannot make it peaceful

خَيَّرَتني بَينَ أَن أَك

خَيَّرَتني بَينَ أَن أَك

تُمَ سِرّاً أَو أَبوحا

تُمَ سِرّاً أَو أَبوحا

She gave me the choice: to conceal

You gave me the choice

a secret, or reveal it.

To be silent or confess

وَلَقَد تَعلَمُ أَنّي

وَلَقَد تَعلَمُ أَنّي

كُنتُ بِالسِرِّ شَحيحا

كُنتُ بِالسِرِّ شَحيحا

And she surely knows that I

And you knew that I

was tight-lipped about the secret.

Am stingy with secrets

أَتَّقي اللَهَ وَأَخزى

أَتَّقي اللَهَ وَأَخزى

وَأَقي عِرضي الفُضوحا

وَأَقي عِرضي الفُضوحا

I fear God and feel ashamed,

I fear God and shame

and shield my honor from disgrace.

And guard my honor from disgrace
