1. Separation laughs while love cries
And between them destruction lurks
١. الهجرُ يضحكُ وَالهوى يبكي
والوَصلُ بَينَهُما على هُلْكِ
2. O my garden, I never thought
I'd suffer the hell of parting from you
٢. يا جَنَّتي ما كُنتُ أَحسَبُ أنْ
أصلى جَحيمَ قَطيعَةٍ مِنكِ
3. God has an eye informing Him
Of my every secret regarding you
٣. لِلَّه عَينٌ مِنكِ مُخبِرَةٌ
عَنِّي بِكُلِّ سَريرَةٍ عَنكِ
4. Wondrous is your guarded speech
While your glance is present and deadly
٤. عَجَبي لِلَفظٍ مِنكِ ذي نُسُكٍ
هَذا وَلَحظُكِ حاضِرُ الفَتكِ
5. You've stolen my heart from my ribs, so do
Hearts have the craft of piercing for you?
٥. وَسَلبتِ قَلبي مِن حَشايَ فَهلْ
لَكِ في القلوبِ صِناعَةُ الدكِّ
6. Does musk Gazelle of the cosmos
Gazelle of musk, I called you
٦. أَغزالةَ الفلكِ الَّتي عَبَقَتْ
مِسكاً فَقُلتُ غَزالةُ المِسكِ
7. If your estrangement of me without cause endures
You're undoubtedly my murderess, no doubt
٧. إِن دامَ هَجْرُكِ لي بلا سَبَبٍ
فَلأنتِ قاتِلَتِي بِلا شكِّ
