Sami Yusuf - Lament lyrics

My father be the ransom of him for
Whose sake I melted with anguish!
My father be the ransom of him for
Whose sake I died of fear!
The blush of shame on his
Cheek is the whiteness
Of dawn conversing with the Redness of eve
They left me at al-Uthayl and an Naqá

Who will compose my distracted thoughts?
Who will relieve my pain? Guide me to him!
Who will ease my sorrow?
Who will help a passionate lover?
Whenever I keep secret the torments of desire
My tears betray the flame
Within and the sleeplessness
They left me at al-Uthayl and an Naqá

And whenever I say, 'Give me one look!
The answer is
'Thou art not hindered but for pity's sake'
My father, my father, my father
