I call upon you, but no call is heard,

أدعو إليك فلا دعاء يسمع

1. I call upon you, but no call is heard,
O you who can harm with your gaze and benefit,

١. أَدعُو إِليكَ فلا دُعاءٌ يُسْمَعُ
يا مَن يَضُرُّ بِناظِرَيهِ وَيَنْفَعُ

2. The rose has a season when it does not bloom,
Yet with you, the rose blooms at all times.

٢. لِلْوَرْدِ حِينٌ ليسَ يطلعُ دُونَهُ
والوَردُ عِنْدَكَ كُلَّ حِينٍ يَطلُعُ

3. My heart did not shatter for you out of weakness,
Rather it melted, so it does not shatter.

٣. لم تَنْصَدِع كَبِدِي عَلَيْكَ لِضَعْفها
لكِنَّها ذابَتْ فما تَتَصَدَّعُ

4. Who do I have with bashful cheeks, whose tongue does not reveal,
And whose eyelids' swords do not cut?

٤. مَن لي بأَحوَرَ ما يبينُ لسانُهُ
خَجلاً وسَيْفُ جُفُونِهِ ما يَقْطَعُ

5. Speech is forbidden, except for a wink from a glance,
With it, he speaks to me, and through it, he hears.

٥. مَنعَ الكلامَ سِوى إشارَةِ مُقْلَةٍ
فَبها يُكلِّمُني وَعَنها يَسمَعُ
