1. My eyelids have fevered from wakefulness
And sorrow has been assigned to me
١. حَمَى جَفنَ عَيني الوَسن
ووَكلني بالحزَن
2. A youth whose glance
Stirs up exquisite temptations
٢. رَشأ لم يَزل طرفُهُ
يثيرُ بديعَ الفِتَن
3. I concealed my love for him
And feared the discerning
٣. كتمتُ هَواهُ لهُ
وخِفتُ عليهِ الفِطَن
4. My eyes did not cease shedding tears
Until my love was revealed
٤. فَما أقلعَت مُقلَتي
عن الدَّمعِ حتى عَلَن
5. And my passion called out to him
Oh beauty! Oh beauty!
٥. وَناداهُ وَجدي بهِ
أيا حسناً يا حسَن
6. For God's sake, the young man died
Of longing and his body wasted away
٦. خفِ اللَه ماتَ الفؤا
دُ شَوقاً وذابَ البدَن
