أَيا سَروَةَ البُستانِ طالَ تَشَوُّقي

أَيا سَروَةَ البُستانِ طالَ تَشَوُّقي

فَهَل لي إِلى ظِلٍّ لَدَيكَ سَبيلُ

فَهَل لي إِلى ظِلٍّ لَدَيكَ سَبيلُ

O cypress of the garden, long has my longing endured.

O cypress tree of the garden, my longing has lasted long

Is there, then, a way for me to the shade beside you?

Is there for me a way to your shade?

مَتى يَلتَقي مَن لَيسَ يُقضي خُروجُهُ

مَتى يَلتَقي مَن لَيسَ يُقضي خُروجُهُ

وَلَيسَ لِمَن يَهوى إِلَيهِ دُخولُ

وَلَيسَ لِمَن يَهوى إِلَيهِ دُخولُ

When can one who is not permitted to go out meet,

When will those whose going out is not fulfilled meet

while the one he loves has no access to him?

Those who yearn to enter but have no access?

عَسى اللَهُ أَن نَرتاحَ مِن كَربَةٍ لَنا

عَسى اللَهُ أَن نَرتاحَ مِن كَربَةٍ لَنا

فَيلَقىاِغتِباطاً خُلَّةٌ وَخَليلُ

فَيلَقىاِغتِباطاً خُلَّةٌ وَخَليلُ

May God grant us relief from our distress,

May God grant us relief from an affliction of ours

so that a sweetheart and a lover may find joy.

So we may meet in joy, intimate friends
