Refrain:
Ya sayedee kam kan kaseyan,

Ila hemak ahya ma3ka,

4-Ya layt kalbee yaktaneeka,

ahya li agleka ameenan,
khade3an laka

English:
My lord how hard it was, the shameful death of the cross, but before they sentenced you to be crucified, You had already chosen the cross, o pure one

You asked for water, but tasted vinegar, You tasted all bitterness
Your blood was streaming from Your body, to save the sinners

Upon the cross, my beloved, you suffered much pain
from those who crucified you, even for them you forgave sins

O my God, all this, so you can bring me back
To your refuge, I will live with You, and You will comfort me

May my heart be full of You/ (treasure You), so that I may win You
I live for You, honestly, obeying You
