أَمُرتَحِلٌ صَحبي المَشارِقَ غُدوَة

أَمُرتَحِلٌ صَحبي المَشارِقَ غُدوَة

وَأُترَكُ في بَيتٍ بِفَردَةَ مُنجِدِ

وَأُترَكُ في بَيتٍ بِفَردَةَ مُنجِدِ

Are my companions departing for the eastern lands at dawn,

A traveler, my companions left at dawn

while I am left in a highland house at Fardah?

And I am left in a house, alone, awake

سَقى اللَهُ ما بَينَ القَفيلِ فَطابَةٍ

سَقى اللَهُ ما بَينَ القَفيلِ فَطابَةٍ

فَما دونَ أَرمامٍ فَما فَوقَ مُنشِدِ

فَما دونَ أَرمامٍ فَما فَوقَ مُنشِدِ

May God water the land between al-Qafil and Tabah,

May God water what is between Al-Qafael and Fatabah

and the land below Armam and above Munshid.

And what is below Armaam and above Munshid

هُنالكَ لَو أَنّي مَرِضتُ لَعادَني

هُنالكَ لَو أَنّي مَرِضتُ لَعادَني

عَوائِدُ مَن لَم يُشفَ مِنهُنَّ مُجهدِ

عَوائِدُ مَن لَم يُشفَ مِنهُنَّ مُجهدِ

There, had I fallen ill, I would have been visited

There, if I were to fall ill, would tend to me

by women visitors—whoever finds no healing from them is sorely stricken.

The hands of those who could not be wearied healing me

فَلَيتَ اللَواتي عُدنَني لَم يُعُدنَني

فَلَيتَ اللَواتي عُدنَني لَم يُعُدنَني

وَلَيتَ اللَواتي غِبنَ عَنّي عودي

وَلَيتَ اللَواتي غِبنَ عَنّي عودي

So I wish the women who visited me had not visited me,

If only those who returned had not returned

and I wish the women absent from me were my visitors.

And those who were absent from me had returned
