إن كان ذنبي في الهوى

إن كان ذنبي في الهوى

أني ندمتُ على جفاك

أني ندمتُ على جفاك

If my sin in love

If my sin in love

Is that I regretted your coldness,

Is that I regretted your abandonment

فاللَه يرحم عاشقاً

فاللَه يرحم عاشقاً

باع الأحبّة واشتراك

باع الأحبّة واشتراك

Then may God have mercy on a lover

Then may Allah have mercy on a lover

Who sold his loved ones and bought you.

Who sold his loved ones and bought you

ولسوف تعرف بعد ما

ولسوف تعرف بعد ما

تسعى الليالي في نواك

تسعى الليالي في نواك

And you will surely know, after

And you will know after

The nights have striven to bring about your separation,

The nights pass through your bed

أن ليس مثلى صادقٌ

أن ليس مثلى صادقٌ

وافٍ ولو بلغ السماك

وافٍ ولو بلغ السماك

That none is as sincere as I,

That there is no one as sincere as me

Or as faithful—even were he to reach the star al-Simak.

Loyal, even if he reached the sky
