1. My lady's hidden generosity to the sorrowful,
Bound with the cord of loving intimacy.
١. مَكنونُ سَيِّدَتي جودي لِمَحزونِ
مُتَيَّمٍ بِأَليفِ الحُبِّ مَقرونِ
2. She said, “You are insane in my opinion.” I said to her,
“Love is greater than what is in the insane.”
٢. قالَت جُنِنتَ عَلى رَأيِي فَقُلتُ لَها
الحُبُّ أَعظَمُ مِمّا بِالمَجانينِ
3. Love does not awaken its companion for eternity,
Rather it immediately strikes down the insane one.
٣. الحُبُّ لَيسَ يَفيقُ الدَهرَ صاحِبُهُ
وَإِنَّما يَصرَعُ المَجنونَ في الحَينِ
