Lyrics: Moshe Eliyahu (20th century Syria and Israel)

The melody for the piyyut comes from the popular Arabic song of love and longing Il-Arasiya. Fittingly, the renowned Syrian musician Moshe Eliyahu composed this Hebrew poem to it as a love song of yearning for Jerusalem. It is usually sung at celebrations.

lyrics

עיני צופיה לך חונן. בקול נעים שיר ארנן
עיר קדשך מהר כונן. יה צורי שוכן עלייה

לעושה שמיים – עיני צופיה
לרוקע הארץ – עיני צופיה

My eye longs for You, Oh Merciful One.
With a mellifluous voice, I will sing to you.
Restore Your holy city, without delay, Oh God of the heights

To the Maker of the Heavens—my eye longs for you
To the Creator of the Earth—my eye longs for you
