  1. ياللي جفاك المنام عليل أليف السهاد

    Oh you, whose slumber has been cruel to me, a dear companion of wakefulness.

  2. النوم عليا حرام وإنت طريح الوساد

    Sleep is forbidden for me while you lie on the pillow.

  3. النوم عليا حرام وإنت طريح الوساد

    Sleep is forbidden for me while you lie on the pillow.

  4. ياما ضناني الأنين وإنت في عطفك ضنين

    So many times the pain has troubled me, while you are stingy with your affection.

  5. ياما، ياما ضناني الأنين وانت في عطفك ضنين

    So many times, so many times the pain has troubled me while you are stingy with your affection.

  6. واحترت أشكي لمين واحترت أشكي لمين

    And I am lost, unsure whom to confide in, and I am lost, unsure whom to confide in.

  7. واحترت أشكي لمين لما شكيت الألم

    And I am lost, unsure whom to confide in, when I complained of the pain.

  8. جعلت نوحي نغم نسيت بكايا على أسايا

    You've turned my cries into melodies, I've forgotten my lamenting over my sorrow.

  1. وقلت يسلم ويكون عزايا

    And I said, may it be safe and serve as my solace.

  2. وقلت يسلم ويكون عزايا تنام عيونه الليل

    And I said, may it be safe and serve as my solace, while his eyes peacefully sleep at night.

  3. وأبات أنا سهران وأبات أنا سهران

    And I stay awake all night, and I stay awake all night

  4. وأبات أنا سهران وأشوف في حبه

    And I stay awake all night, dreaming of his love

  5. الويل وافضل شجي ولهان

    Oh woe, I remain longing and in pain

  6. شاكي ومين بيسمع مني باكي

    I'm complaining, but who will listen to my cries?

  7. ومين بيسأل عني والحب عذاب

    And who asks about me while love is torment?

  8. والهوى هوان

    And passion is misery

  9. ومين بيسمع مني باكي

    And who will listen to my cries?

  10. ومين بيسأل عني شاكي

    And who asks about me, I am in sorrow

  11. ومين بيسمع مني باكي

    And who will listen to my cries?

  12. ومين بيسأل عني والحب عذاب

    And who asks about me while love is torment?

  13. والهوى، الهوى هوان

    And love, oh love, is a torment

  14. وإن كان نصيبي هجره وجفاه

    And if my fate is his rejection and neglect

  15. أصون عهود الوداد

    I will preserve the bonds of affection

  16. يمكن حبيبي يعود رضاه

    Perhaps my beloved will return to his delight

  17. يمكن حبيبي يعود رضاه

    Perhaps my beloved will return to his delight

  18. يمكن حبيبي يعود رضاه

    Perhaps my beloved will return to his delight

  19. ويواسي جرح الفؤاد

    And soothe the wound of my heart
