أصعب فراق فراق الحبايب
as3ab fora2 fora2 el 7abayeb
The hardest separation is the lover's separation
أصعب عذاب الشوق اللي غايب
as3ab 3azab el sho2 elly ghayb
The hardest torture is the longing of the absent ones
أنا قلبي استنى ياما ترجعلي بالسلامة
ana 2lby estana yama terga3ly bel salama
My heart has been waiting for you for a long time to come back in peace
طمني مرة الفرقة مرة
ttameny marra el for2a morra
Assure me once, the separation is bitter
إنتا اللي عالم بحالي
enta elly 3alem b7aly
You are the one who knows my situation
حتجيني إمتى يا واحشني انت
7ateege emta ya wa7eshni enta
When will you come to me? I miss you
دا الليل في بعدك ليالي
da el lail fe bo3dak layale
A night in your distance is many nights
آه يا ويلي من الليالي والبعد وقسوتو
ahh ya waily men el layale w el bo3d w 2asweto
Ah, my pain from my nights and the distance and its cruelness
لو تعرف إيه اللي جرالي شوف قلبي ولهفتو
law t3eraf eih elly garale shof 2lby w lahfeto
If you know what happened to me, look at my heart with its eagerness
يا حبيب القلب قللي مين يرضى بغربتو آه
ya 7abeeb el 2lb 2lly meen yerda bgherbeto ahh
Oh the lover of my heart, tell me who accepts its strangeness
انت ناوى تبقى قاسي ولا الهوى غيرك
enta nawy tebaa 2asy wla el hawa gherak
Are you intending to remain cruel or the love changed you?
لوكنت في مرة ناسي دا البعد يفكرك
law kont fe marra nase da el bo3d yfakkarakIf you forgot me once, this distance will remind you
يبقى انت إزاي ناسيني ليه بعدي يصبرك
yebaa enta ezay naseeni leih bo3dy ysabarak
So, how you forgot me, why does my distance comfort you?
The hours of pain have yielded good,
Which prosperous days refused;
As herbs, though scentless when entire,
Spread fragrance when they’re bruised.
