1. I have no possessions to leave to the Turks
Love’s religion allows no partners
١. لِلتُركِ مالي تَركُ
ما دينُ حُبِّيَ شِركُ
2. I have devoted myself to the creed of passion
So their love to me is an act of worship
٢. أَخلَصتُ دينَ هَواهُمُ
فَحُبُّهُم لِيَ نُسكُ
3. I have risked my soul for their sake
Though the path of love is narrow
٣. خاطَرتُ بِالنَفسِ فيهِمُ
وَمَسلَكُ العِشقِ ضَنكُ
4. I'm content with affection from them
For contentment itself is a kingdom
٤. قَنِعتُ بِالوُدِّ مِنهُم
إِنَّ القَناعَةُ مُلكُ
5. And the one I love can do no wrong
Though the blame is on me when we disagree
٥. وَبي أَغَرُّ غَريرٌ
مَلامَتي فيهِ إِفكُ
6. His eyebrows and eyes
Are ruin to lovers like me
٦. بِحاجِبَيهِ وَعَينَي
هِ لِلمُحِبّينَ هَتكُ
7. Eyebrows and eyes
That pierce my heart
٧. حَواجِبٌ وَعُيونٌ
لَها بِقَلبي فَتكُ
8. He turns away, silent, while I
Complain of love, and doubt.
٨. كَالقَوسِ يُصمي وَهَذي
تَشكي المُحِبَّ وَيَشكو
