1. I'm a captive, and my heart is captive to your love
My mount pants and sighs as I ride
١. أَسيرُ وَقَلبي في هَواكَ أَسيرُ
وَحادي رِكابي لَوعَةٌ وَزَفيرُ
2. I have copious tears that flow as though they were
An outpouring of dew in the soft sand where I think of you
٢. وَلي أَدمُعٌ غُزرٌ تَفيضُ كَأَنَّها
نَدىً فاضَ في العافينَ مِنكَ غَزيرُ
3. A lovely eyelid languid with sleeplessness as though
It were the companion of generosity, stirred to change in longing for you
٣. وَطَرفٌ طَريفٌ بِالسّهادِ كَأَنَّهُ
لهاكَ جَليسُ الجُودِ فيهِ يغيرُ
