A heart weighs heavy on a speaking tongue

قلب يمل على لسان ناطق

1. A heart weighs heavy on a speaking tongue
And a hand that pens a letter from a lover

١. قَلبٌ يُمِلُّ عَلى لِسانِ ناطِقِ
وَيَدٌ تَخُطُّ رِسالَةً مِن عاشِقِ

2. He mixed ink with a teardrop that bore him witness
From every limb, with a truthful heart

٢. مَزَجَ المِدادَ بِعَبرَةٍ شَهِدَت لَهُ
مِن كُلِّ جارِحَةٍ بِقَلبٍ صادِقِ

3. Thus his right hand tells of the pillow to his cheek
While his left hand rests atop his pounding heart

٣. فَيَمينُهُ تَحكي الوِسادَ لِخَدِّهِ
وَيَسارُهُ فَوقَ الفُؤادِ الخافِقِ
