1. They say to me one day when I come to their quarters,
And inside me there is a fire whose flames blaze,
١. يَقولونَ لي يَوماً وَقَد جِئتُ حَيَّهُم
وَفي باطِني نارٌ يُشَبُّ لَهيبُها
2. "Do you not fear our lion?" I answered them,
Every soul inclines to where its beloved lays.
٢. أَما تَختَشي مِن أُسدِنا فَأَجَبتُهُم
هَوى كُلَّ نَفسٍ أَينَ حَلَّ حَبيبُها
