[Intro]
Ya layl, ya shams, atasal li qalbi
[Verse 1]
Yawmi hally wa da'i, raaft rafiqti ana
Ma'ak tu naru' al-hulm, uftikhr bi hubbi lana
Ashku al-dam’a fi ayniya, mabsut bi mudi‘ ayna
[Chorus]
Hathi ‘uyuni madma‘iya, ya qalbi sabir a‘la al-ruh
Kul yawm nuḥeb kawnna ma‘an, namsi ila al-mahna bimiḥr
Raftu ra’fiqi, waqif aqdamina bi-hubbi al-layl
Tamurru al-dhiyu, wa al-aman ya’ud ila al-halam
[Verse 2]
Yadhakkaruni bikan ya nur, al-hudur fi kul lamha
Ittiga’u al-‘uyun fi layali al-wafa’, wa kullu amta
Ma’ak al-sabr yantali, wa al-‘ayn tabki min al-wafa'
Kullu qasdina an-najm, yudkhiluna fi ahla aman
[Chorus]
Hathi ‘uyuni madma‘iya, ya qalbi sabir a‘la al-ruh
Kul yawm nuḥeb kawnna ma‘an, namsi ila al-mahna bimiḥr
Raftu ra’fiqi, waqif aqdamina bi-hubbi al-layl
Tamurru al-dhiyu, wa al-aman ya’ud ila al-halam
[Bridge]
Kul lahzah ya sadiqi, nurun yuhdi al-hubb lil-fulus
Nabqa ma‘ ba‘du, nu’ainu bi al-hawa’ lil-rous
[Chorus]
Hathi ‘uyuni madma‘iya, ya qalbi sabir a‘la al-ruh
Kul yawm nuḥeb kawnna ma‘an, namsi ila al-mahna bimiḥr
Raftu ra’fiqi, waqif aqdamina bi-hubbi al-layl
Tamurru al-dhiyu, wa al-aman ya’ud ila al-halam
[Outro]
Ya layl, ya qalbi, la tansa miraq al-rahma
Naltaki marra ukhra fi al-hubb, insha’ Allahumma—amaneh
