[Musical Intro – Emotional Piano and Ney]
[Refrain – Male Lead, Warm and Melodic]
لْوَڨْتَاهْ يَا أَيَّامِ الصَّبِرْ ... نِبْڨَى صَابِرْ
Lwaqtāh yā ayyām iṣ-ṣabir... nibqā ṣābir
How long, oh days of patience, will I remain patient?
وْطِيرِ الْفَرَحْ وِينْ مَا يْحُطِّ عْلَى غُصْنِي ... يِتِمّْ طَايِرْ
And the bird of joy, wherever it lands on my branch, it flies away.
الدَّهِرْ لَا يْصُونْ فِلْهَوَى ذِمَّا ... وْلَا يْرَاعِي خَاطِرْ
Time does not keep its promise in love, nor does it consider feelings.
وَالْڨَلْبْ مَا بَطَّلْ يَحْزَنْ ... وَلْفِكِرْ مَا بَطَّلْ يْكُونْ حَايِرْ
Wal-qalb mā baṭṭal yiḥzan... wal-fikr mā baṭṭal yikūn ḥāyir
And the heart has not stopped grieving, and the mind has not stopped being confused.
[Refrain – Gentle Crowd Response]
لْوَڨْتَاهْ ... يَا أَيَّامِ الصَّبِرْ
Lwaqtāh... yā ayyām iṣ-ṣabir
How long... oh days of patience?
لْوَڨْتَاهْ ... لْوَڨْتَاهْ
Lwaqtāh... lwaqtāh
How long... how long?
نِبْڨَى صَابِرْ
Nibqā ṣābir
Will I remain patient?
[Verse 1 – Emotional Build-up]
فَرِحْتِي بِمْحَبِّتُو كْبِيرَا ... لَكِنِ الفَرَحْ مَا يِكْمَلْ
Fariḥtī bimḥabbitū kbīrā... lākin il-faraḥ mā yikmal
My joy in his love was great... but joy is never complete.
خَوَّانْ مَا يِعْرَفْ يِمْشِي ... فِلْمْحَبَّا دَرِبْ
A traitor who doesn't know how to walk... the path of love.
وْيِسْأَلْنِي كِيفْ غُصْنِ الْمْحَبَّا ... يِذْبَلْ
Wyis'alnī kīf ghuṣn il-mḥabbā... yidhbal
And he asks me how the branch of love... withers.
وْهُوَ لِّي سِڨَاهْ ... غَدٌرِ وْخِيَانَا وْكِذِبْ
Whuwa llī siqāh... ghadru wkhyānā wkidhb
While he is the one who watered it... with treachery, betrayal, and lies.
وِالْغَرِيبْ أَنُّو يَعْرَفِ السَّبَبْ ... وْيِسْأَلْ
And the strange thing is that he knows the reason... and he asks.
حَتَّى مَا يِشْعُرْ ... فِي يَوْمْ بِالذَّنِبْ
So that he doesn't feel... guilty one day.
وِيذَا دُمُوعِ الْعِينْ ... تْرَجَّاتُو مَا يْرَحْلْ
And if the tears of the eye... begged him not to leave,
بِفَصَاحَتْ غَدْرْ يِرُدّْ ... مْشِينَاهَا خْطَاوِي الْحُبّْ
Bifaṣāḥat ghadar yirudd... mshīnāhā khṭāwī l-ḥubb
With eloquent betrayal, he replies... 'We walked the steps of love.'
[Refrain – Full Vocal]
لْوَڨْتَاهْ يَا أَيَّامِ الصَّبِرْ ... نِبْڨَى صَابِرْ
Lwaqtāh yā ayyām iṣ-ṣabir... nibqā ṣābir
How long, oh days of patience, will I remain patient?
وْطِيرِ الْفَرَحْ وِينْ مَا يْحُطِّ عْلَى غُصْنِي ... يِتِمّْ طَايِرْ
And the bird of joy, wherever it lands on my branch, it flies away.
الدَّهِرْ لَا يْصُونْ فِلْهَوَى ذِمَّا ... وْلَا يْرَاعِي خَاطِرْ
Time does not keep its promise in love, nor does it consider feelings.
وَالْڨَلْبْ مَا بَطَّلْ يِحْزَنْ ... وَلْفِكِرْ مَا بَطَّلْ يْكُونْ حَايِرْ
Wal-qalb mā baṭṭal yiḥzan... wal-fikr mā baṭṭal yikūn ḥāyir
And the heart has not stopped grieving, and the mind has not stopped being confused.
[Verse 2 – Tender and Deeply Emotional]
اِرْفَڨِ بْهَالِعْيُونْ ... يَا زْمَانْ لَمَّا تْعَدِّي
Be kind to these eyes... oh time, when you pass.
تِعْبْتْ مِنْ دْمُوعِ النَّدَمْ ... هَالْعْيُونْ
These eyes are tired of tears of regret.
عَسَاهَا تِشْفِي جْرْحِ كْبِيرْ ... كَانْ بِينِ مْدَامْعِي
May they heal a big wound... that was between my tears.
وْعَسَاهَا تِطْفِي حُلِمْ ... كَانْ يِضْوِي بِينِ لْجْفُونْ
And may they extinguish a dream... that used to shine between my eyelids.
وْمَا فَكَّرِتْ فِي يُومْ ... حَبِيبِي يْخُونْ
Wumā fakkarit fī yawm... ḥabībī yikhūn
And I never thought one day... my beloved would betray me.
كَانَتْ يَا عَذَابِي ... صَادْڨَا فِيهِ الظُّنُونْ
My thoughts about him, oh my torment, were sincere.
ظْنُونْ تِمْحِي خُطُوطِ الْهَوَى ... مِنْ فُوڨِ الْجِبِينْ
Ẓunūn timḥī khuṭūṭ il-hawā... min fūq il-jibīn
Thoughts that erase the lines of love... from above the forehead.
وِتْكَبِّلْ غَوَالِي أَمَانِيّ ... بْأَڨْوَى شُجُونْ
Witkabbil ghawālī amāniyy... bi'aqwā shujūn
And shackle precious hopes... with the strongest sorrows.
[Refrain – More Intense]
لْوَڨْتَاهْ يَا أَيَّامِ الصَّبْرْ
Lwaqtāh yā ayyām iṣ-ṣabr
How long, oh days of patience?
لْوَڨْتَاهْ ... لْوَڨْتَاهْ
Lwaqtāh... lwaqtāh
How long... how long?
نِبْڨَى صَابِرْ
Nibqā ṣābir
Will I remain patient?
[Verse 3 – Strong Male Voice, Rising Emotion]
يَلِّي كُنِتْ حَبِيبِي ... يَلِّي هَانِتْ عَلِيكْ دُمُوعِي
You who were my beloved... you for whom my tears meant nothing,
لَمَّا تْرَجَّاتِكْ ... يُومِ الرَّحِيلْ
Lammā trajjātik... yawm ir-raḥīl
When they begged you... on the day of departure.
وِبْضَحْكَاتْ سُخْرِيَا ... مِنْ خُضُوعِي
And with mocking laughter... at my submission,
ذَوَّڨْتِنِِّي ... مِنَ النَّدَمْ الْوِيلْ
Dhawaqqitinnī... min an-nadam il-wīl
You made me taste... the agony of regret.
يِدُورْ الْفْلَكْ ... وِيِهِلِّ بْعِيدْ عَنَّكْ رَبِيعِي
The wheel of fortune turns... and my spring will be far from you.
وِتْخُونَكْ لْيَامْ ... وْيَڨْسَى عَلِيكِ اللِّيلْ
And days will betray you... and the night will be harsh on you.
مْحَالْ تِنْعَمْ ... بْأَمَلْ رْجُوعِي
It's impossible for you to enjoy... the hope of my return.
نْسَامْحَكْ ... شَيَّ كْبَرْ مِنْ مُسْتَحِيلْ
Nsāmaḥak... shayy kbar min mustaḥīl
To forgive you... is something greater than impossible.
