1. O you of many hues, how uncompassionate you are
To a lover tortured by passion for you
١. يا كَثيرَ الأَلوانِ ما أَجفاكا
لِمُحِبٍّ مُعَذَّبٍ في هَواكا
2. If he calls seeking someone other than you
His tongue disobeys him and calls you
٢. إِن دَعا يَبتَغي سِواكَ مِنَ النا
سِ عَصاهُ لِسانُهُ فَدَعاكا
3. You preoccupy the heart from everything
The heart is never free until it sees you
٣. أَنتَ شُغلُ الفُؤادِ عَن كُلِّ شَيءٍ
لَيسَ يَخلو الفُؤادُ حَتّى يَراكا
4. No person has appeared to me, nor has my ear heard anything
Except I thought it was you
٤. ما بَدا لي شَخصٌ وَلا سَمِعَت أُذُ
نايَ حِسّاً إِلّا حَسِبتُكَ ذاكا
5. And when I look away from you
You appear before me and I see you
٥. وَإِذا ما مَدَدتُ طَرفي إِلى غَي
رِكَ مُثِّلتَ دونَهُ فَأَراكا
