1. The nerves of longing which
The burning of yearning set ablaze in my ribs—
١. أَعصابة الشَوق الَّتي
شَب الجَوى بِضُلوعِها
2. If I come to my beloved’s abode
And pause by its ruins—
٢. إِن جئت دار أَحبَتي
وَوَقفت عِندَ رُبوعِها
3. Will lead a lover astray,
God help him in his bewilderment!
٣. أَدي الوكة مُغرَم
اللَهُ في تَضييعها
