يا قلبُ مُتْ كَمَداً عَلَى

يا قلبُ مُتْ كَمَداً عَلَى

مَن غبتَ عنه وغَابَ عَنكَ

مَن غبتَ عنه وغَابَ عَنكَ

O heart, die of grief over

My friend, do not despair

the one from whom you were absent, and who was absent from you.

Though you are parted, love is there

لا تَلْتَقي بَدَلاً به

لا تَلْتَقي بَدَلاً به

وسَيَلْتَقِي الأبْدَالَ منكَ

وسَيَلْتَقِي الأبْدَالَ منكَ

You will find no replacement for him,

Let no other take their place

and he will find replacements for you.

Time will bring you back, embrace to embrace
