O healer of the soul, you are its physician

ألا يا طبيب النفس أنت طبيبها

1. O healer of the soul, you are its physician
So be gentle with a soul abandoned by her beloved

١. أَلا يا طَبيبَ النَفسِ أَنتَ طَبيبُها
فَرِفقاً بِنَفسٍ قَد جَفاها حَبيبُها

2. The passions of love for Layla called me, and none but her
My body's nearness alarms their hearts

٢. دَعَتني دَواعي حُبِّ لَيلى وَدونَها
دَرى قُربَ جِسمي الخَوفُ مِنها قُلوبُها

3. So here I am, responding to the one calling me
If I were but an echo between rocks, I would still answer her

٣. فَلَبَّيكِ مِن داعٍ لَها وَلَوَ أَنَّني
صَدىً بَينَ أَحجارٍ لَظَلَّ يُجيبُها

4. My soul did not abandon you because you were unkind
But because it received too little affection from you

٤. وَما هَجَرَتكِ النَفسُ أَنَّكِ عِندَها
قَليلٌ وَلَكِن قَلَّ مِنكِ نَصيبُها
