قولوا لهم عودو بالعجل
Qūlū lahum ‘ūdū bil-‘ajal
Tell them to return quickly
حزين قلبي على غيبته
Ḥazīn qalbī ‘alā ghaybtih
My heart is sad over his absence
عوداً تربى ف وسط الغتل
‘Ūdān tarabbā fī wasṭ al-ghatal
He grew up in the midst of luxury
ان مت دفنوني ف ظلته
In mitt dafnūnī fī ẓillatih
If I die, bury me in his shadow
الحب ي اهل العشق ما سهل
Al-ḥubb yā ahl al-‘ishq mā sahl
Love, oh people of passion, is not easy
يا كم عاشق فقد راحته
Yā kam ‘āshiq faqad rāḥatih
How many lovers have lost their comfort
ثقيل الفراق مثل اليبل
Thaqīl al-firāq mithl al-yabal
Separation is heavy like a mountain
الله يعين الذي ف سيرته
Allāh yu‘īn alladhī fī sīratih
May God help whoever is in his path
ابكي ولا تسألو وش حصل
Abkī wa lā tas'alū wush ḥaṣal
I cry, and don't ask what happened
ابكي الذي ف الحشى سكنته
Abkī alladhī fī al-ḥashā sakantih
I cry for the one I housed in my heart
لا شي رساله ولا يتصل
Lā shay risālah wa lā yattaṣil
No message, and he doesn't call
واسال عنه رمل ديرته
Wa as'al ‘anhu raml dīratih
And I ask about him from the sand of his land
يمشي شرات القطا بالمهل
Yamshī sharāt al-qaṭā bil-mahl
He walks like a sandgrouse, slowly
و اثر عليه سبب مشيته
Wa athar ‘alayhi sabab mashyatih
And his walk caused an impression on me
العين سودا بليا كحل
Al-‘ayn sawdā bilā kuḥl
His eye is black without kohl
لاحول صوبني بنظرته
Lā ḥawl ṣawwabanī bi-naẓratih
He struck me with his gaze, powerless
