1. I love you, O Asma, with the love of Majid
Who is faithful to his neighbors, not betraying

2. Close to piety, far from wrongdoing
Patient with the bending boughs, not betraying

3. He follows desire in all that adorns it
Yet disobeys it in all that is disgraceful

4. And you are, for the precious soul, a temptation
While I am a martyr for the two alluring ones

5. So your beauty, O Asma, and your kindness are perfect
I seek refuge for them with God from an envious eye

6. Every charming one in Lebanon would ransom you
And every charming one around Lebanon dwelling

7. And if a stingy or hot-headed one would ransom you
I would ransom you - by God - my passion and yearning

8. Wishing, always wishing, in my imagination
Trusting it, so my torment came from my dwellings

9. Oh, if only they lasted, no harm would have come
While you are before me, bring them near my dwellings

10. Truly the Merciful has granted me ecstasy entire
And granted you, O Asma, all beauty
