Hannayt Ilak (I Longed For You)

حنيت الك، يا حبيبي وطالت الليالي

I longed for you, my beloved, and the nights grew long

حنيت الك، تعبتني فرگتك يا غالي

I longed for you, your separation has exhausted me, O precious one

حنيت الك، سنين وإنت عيونك عله بالي

I longed for you, for years your eyes have been upon my mind

موت مشتاگه

I am dying from longing

وين نتلاگه؟

Where will we meet?

مشه ودلالي

He left, and my days of being cherished

وگف بفراگه

Ended with his separation

لو رد والعيون بالعيون يتلاگن

If he returned, and eyes met eyes

وأصفن بالحسين والحسين يشتاگن

I lose myself thinking of Husayn, and my eyes long for Husayn

غير السهر بيك والدموع ما ضاگن

The women have tasted nothing but sleeplessness over you and tears

أتأملك، يا بويه وصاحبي وحلالي

I gaze at you, my dear, my companion and my lawful

راح خلاني

He left and left me behind

خاف ينساني

I fear he may forget me

طيف مر بيه

A shadow passed by me

حيل بچاني

And made me weep so much

مذبوح الحسين والأحلام مذبوحة

Husayn is slaughtered, and the dreams are slaughtered

ميت شعدهه الخيل، تسحك حيل بجروحه

He is dead, what more do the horses want? They trample hard upon his wounds

طلعي بهداي هداي من حسين، يا روحه

Come out gently, gently from Husayn, O his soul

أتخيلك عالرمح، والرمح بويه عالي

I imagine you upon the spear, and the spear, my dear, is high

آخ يا شوگي

Ah, my longing

راح معشوگي

My beloved is gone

جزت أيامه

His days passed

غيم من فوگي

Like a cloud above me

لو يدري الحسين كثر ما تانيته

If Husayn only knew how long I waited for him

چفي من الفراگ عله الباب ناسيته

From separation, I left my palm forgotten upon the door

يال بين الضلوع والعيون خليته

O you whom I kept between my ribs and my eyes

كلي الك، إنت يا أول هلي ويتالي

All of me is yours, you are the first of my family and my last

I wish their memory

مات وياهم

Had died with them

عذاب سنيني

The torment of my years

هلي بجفاهم

Is my family in their absence

ياهو اليوديچ للعزاز يا روحي؟

Who will take you to the dear ones, O my soul?

فوگ الحياطين طلع شيب من نوحي

Even the walls grew grey hair from my wailing

راح الدوه، شلون أداويچ يا جروحي؟

The medicine is gone, how can I heal you, O my wounds?

أرد أسألك، بويه هم يرجع بعد دلالي؟

I want to ask you, my dear, will my days of being cherished ever return?

Fire in the tent

موت بالهيمة

Death in the waterless wilderness

خذوا نسوانه

They took his women

ناس مو شيمة

People with no chivalry

كون ألحق ضعون هلي وكون ألگيهم

If only I could catch up to the caravans of my family, if only I could find them

من ماي العيون أحط ماي وأسگيهم

From the water of my eyes, I would pour water and give them to drink

بس أهلي ميتين، عمت عيني عليهم

But my family are dead, my eyes have gone blind over them

خلصوا هلك، موت يا گلبي شنو البگالي؟

Your family are all gone, die, my heart, what is left for me?
