Sweet water, its springs are blocked

عذب من الماء قد سدت موارده

1. Sweet water, its springs are blocked
Thirsty, yet forbidden and deprived of it

١. عَذبٌ من الماءِ قد سُدّتْ مواردهُ
سيّانِ واجدُ ممنوع وفاقدُهُ

2. Love dries up and becomes difficult when you cannot see it
And the bitterness is being deprived of the beloved you behold

٢. تجفو تعذَّرَ حِبٍّ لست تُبصرهُ
والمُرُّ حِرمانُ محبوبٍ تُشاهدُهُ

3. He lets down his tresses around me, making me doubtful
Is it her who hides him or his ringlets?

٣. أرخى ذوائَبه دونى يُشكِّكُنى
أَهْى التي سترتُه أم ولائدُهُ

4. If only tears would flow from my eyes to wash him
Even if it severs his limbs from him

٤. فليت قَدْ قَدَّ من جفنى يراقعَه
وإن كفَى فُصِّلتْ منهُ مجاسِدُه

5. The height, the waist, the kohl in his eyes
So how can one blame who is seduced by his wiles?

٥. القدُّ والخصر والطرفُ الكحيلُ له
فكيفَ يُلَغبُ مَن هذى مَكايدُهُ

6. I did not intend to ask about loving him
Except my heart assists it completely

٦. وما أردتُ سلُواّ عن محبّته
إلا وقلبي على كُلِّى يُساعدُهُ
