Ya tabeeb daweeniO doctor, please heal me,
Ehtar ettab feyaeven medicine is baffled by my condition.
Habibi yigheeb an ainiMy beloved is gone from my sight,
Eddunya teleff beyaand the whole world is spinning around me.
Ya khala er’eeniO healer, watch over me.
Badaat ashouf khayalatI’ve started seeing shadows everywhere.
Sourto ma fara’et ainiHis image never leaves my sight,
Bachoufo fi koll el aw’atI see him in every passing moment.

Nefsi aa’ref fein aradihI just want to know where he’s settled down.
