يا بعيداً أحلّه الشْ

يا بعيداً أحلّه الشْ

شَوقُ قَلبِي ونَاظِري

شَوقُ قَلبِي ونَاظِري

O distant one, given a home by

O you who's absence my heart's longing made sweet,

longing in my heart and my eye.

And my eyes' vision constantly keep,

ما نَأى مَن خيَالُه

ما نَأى مَن خيَالُه

حَاضرٌ في ضَمائِري

حَاضرٌ في ضَمائِري

No one is far away whose image

He who's phantom is never far,

is present in my innermost thoughts.

But present and clear in my thoughts evermore,

والتّنائِي إذا صَفَا

والتّنائِي إذا صَفَا

وُدّنَا غيرُ ضَائِر

وُدّنَا غيرُ ضَائِر

And separation, when

And longing, when pure,

our love is pure, does no harm.

Is never a loss, but a gain.
