وانطيني كلمه ترجعAnd give me a word that will bring you back.

احكي لي اريد اسمعكSpeak to me, I want to hear you.

وابكي بقلبي دمعكAnd I cry with your tears in my heart.

وصبرني هالبعد طالAnd give me patience, this separation has prolonged.

بدمعك وجع حكيتهWith your tears, a pain I spoke.

وياك العمر قضيتهWith you, I spent my life.

ما شفت هيك حالكI haven't seen your state like this.

عن سفرتك سألتكI asked you about your journey.

علمني أصبر عالصارTeach me to be patient with what has happened.

من تندار يقضيني حزني، آه خلي قبل رحيلكWhen you turn away, my sorrow will consume me. Oh, let me, before your departure...

من الفرقه أشتكي لك ما دام الزين يميI complain to you about the separation, as long as the good one is with me.

إي تعبنيYes, it exhausted me.

انتظارك وينهد فوق داركYour waiting, and my world collapses over your home.

ويثقل علي جفني وليل ونهار أبكيAnd my eyelid feels heavy, and I cry day and night.

وأبقى بمكانك أحكي ودمعي بحالي هالك يمهAnd I remain in your place, speaking, and my tears are destroying me, O mother.

وبروح الروح لو قايله لو وياك أخذني وهسه يميBy my very soul, if I had said, 'Take me with you,' and now you are with me.

وأرجع وأقول هموم العليAnd I return and say, the sorrows of Ali.

هواي ما حط فوق همكMy sorrows are many, but I didn't add to your burden.

حالي بجفاكMy state in your absence.

هيج يصير وأنت قلب أمك كفنThis is how it happens, and you are your mother's heart, a shroud.

يمه حسينO mother, Husayn.
