1. My darling warned me not to obey those who wish me ill
So that I may delight in the union which brings me joy
١. نَهاني حَبيبي أَن أطيعَ عَواذِلي
لِكَي أَتهنّى بِالوصال الَّذي سَرّا
2. So I said: my soul is yours to redeem in obedience
Yet from him came no prohibition that delights nor command
٢. فَقُلتُ فدتكَ النَفسُ سَمعاً وَطاعَة
وَلَم أَرَ نَهياً منه أَهنا وَلا أَمرا
