يا طريق الشوق والحظ الكسير
Oh path of yearning.. oh unbearable luck (literally translated: oh luck who is breaking me down)
هاك علمي والمفارق ما ينام
Here is news of me… I do not sleep
بين فكري وبين هاجوسي أسير
I am a prisoner between my thoughts and feelings
حيرتي يا ناس ما فيها ملام
Oh people, I am not to blame for my confusion
ضحكت الدنيا وأنا منها بخير
The world laughed, and so I am fine
أخجلت لحظة وردت بالكلام
For a moment it felt shy, and shed stopped talking
قالت أتمهل فؤادك لا يغير
She said “wait! … don’t let your heart change”
قلت متأني وعيني ما تنام
I said “im taking it slow, and my eyes do not sleep”
قالت بحور المحبة شئ خطير
She said “the seas of love are a dangerous thing”
فيها تعب فيها الحقائق والأوهام
“they have feeling of exhaustion, they have facts of reality, and delusions”
قلت ربي عالم بحالي خبير
I said “God knows my state perfectly well”
أني رسمت الحب على صدري وسام
“I drew the medal of love on my chest”
ولي ما اهتنئ بالشوق والحب الكبير
And he who did not feel bliss by passion and love
عيشته في ذالزمن والله حرام
Its unfair for him to live life like this
إشرحي لي شئ من شئ كثير
“explain something to me, show me the big picture”
راحت وقالت جوابي يا سلام
She went and gave the same answer I did
