Lyrics
[verse]
Ya ghayeb 'an 'ayni w-galbak ma ghab
Wein rou7ak, wein sar el-jawab
Kel layla ba'ed sahi bidal ma anam
W-as'al el-nejma 'an tari'ak ya salam
[verse]
Kont hon ma'i, kont noor el-dar
W-halla' baytna sar mitl el-ghobar
Sh-hal-bo'd elli farra' bein ednein
La'an el-hijran a'sa min el-sneen
[chorus]
Ya ghayeb, rouh 'omri raye7 wayak
Wala shi ba'do ye7la bidoun 'aynayak
Ya ghayeb, ergaa law fi ba'd amal
La'an galbi min gherak ma bay'raf shou el-hal
[chorus]
Ya ghayeb, el-donya be'dak brida
Wala noor wala fer7a wala ghinya jdida
Ya ghayeb, sami'ni sotak marra
La'an el-shou' malaan hal-sadr w-hal-sadra
[verse]
Sa'alt el-re7 'anak marra w-marra
Waradet el-jawab bidoun ay 'ibara
Bass ana ba'raf mitl ma ba'raf ismi
Enak jaye la-tekmel resmi
[bridge]
Kel sh-shabbak fata7to la ashoufak jaye
Kel el-tori' ba'et 'aynaya taye
Ya ghayeb, ta'al, ta'al, ta'al
[chorus]
Ya ghayeb, rouh 'omri raye7 wayak
Wala shi ba'do ye7la bidoun 'aynayak
Ya ghayeb, ergaa law fi ba'd amal
La'an galbi min gherak ma bay'raf shou el-hal
