Shokr Khas Lyrics English Translation by Bahaa Sultan

The songwriter uses the metaphor of permanent ink to describe the lasting impact of betrayal. ‘I’ve brought the paper to write in permanent ink, instead of pencil’ highlights the decision to not forget but to rise above the pain.

Hegmad w aaddi ashan domoui mesh rokhasI’ll stay strong and move on, because my tears aren’t cheap.
Gebt el wara’ hakteb begaf kalam errosasI’ve brought the paper to write in permanent ink, instead of pencil.
Ammal aadd elli garahni w elli baaI keep counting everyone who hurt me and everyone who betrayed me,
Maletsh had ashan akteblo shokr khasbut I didn’t find anyone who deserved a special thanks.
Hegmad w aaddi ashan domoui mesh rokhasI’ll stay strong and move on, because my tears aren’t cheap.
Gebt el wara’ hakteb begaf kalam errosasI’ve brought the paper to write in permanent ink, instead of pencil.
Ammal aadd elli garahni w elli baaI keep counting everyone who hurt me and everyone who betrayed me,
Maletsh had ashan akteblo shokr khasbut I didn’t find anyone who deserved a special thanks.
Yalli entou wakhdeen menni maw’ef bessalamaTo those of you who’ve turned against me, goodbye.
Meen ‘al ma khadesh w sabeli khadesh w meet alaamaWho can say they didn’t leave me with a scar and a hundred marks?
Yalli entou wakhdeen menni maw’ef bessalamaTo those of you who’ve turned against me, goodbye.
Meen ‘al ma khadesh w sabeli khadesh w meet alaamaWho can say they didn’t leave me with a scar and a hundred marks?
Hatta en hafetou zahf geetou nadmaneenEven if you crawl back to me full of regret,
Mesh hatshofouni meadna ba’a yowm el ‘eyamayou won’t see me again until the Day of Resurrection.
Da fe ezz ma entou ghebteou men ‘oddam eineyaEven when you were nowhere to be found when I needed you,
Ana kont hader ‘olt hader men eineyaI was always there for you, saying, ‘Whatever you need, it’s done.’
Albi hasabteh khalas algteh men zamanI’ve already settled things with my heart and dismissed it long ago,
W lomt nefsi ‘abl ennas ma teloum aleyaand I blamed myself before anyone else could blame me.
Da fe ezz ma entou ghebteou men ‘oddam eineyaEven when you were nowhere to be found when I needed you,
Ana kont hader ‘olt hader men eineyaI was always there for you, saying, ‘Whatever you need, it’s done.’
Albi hasabteh khalas algteh men zamanI’ve already settled things with my heart and dismissed it long ago,
W lomt nefsi ‘abl ennas ma teloum aleyaand I blamed myself before anyone else could blame me.
Yalli entou wakhdeen menni maw’ef bessalamaTo those of you who’ve turned against me, goodbye.
Meen ‘al ma khadesh w sabeli khadesh w meet alaamaWho can say they didn’t leave me with a scar and a hundred marks?
