With a moist, tender glance,

وفاتن بالنظر الرطب

1. With a moist, tender glance,
She laughs more sweetly than pure wine.

١. وَفاتِنٍ بِالنَظَرِ الرَطبِ
يَضحَكُ عَن ذي أَشَرٍ عَذبِ

2. I was alone with her in a gathering
Where none were with us but God.

٢. خالَيتُهُ في مَجلِسٍ لَم يَكُن
ثالِثُنا فيهِ سِوى الرَبِّ

3. She said, her palm in my palm,
After withdrawing from me in displeasure:

٣. فَقالَ لي وَالكَفُّ في كَفِّهِ
بَعدَ التَجَنّي مِنهُ وَالعَتبِ

4. "Do you love me?" I answered her:
"More than you could wish for in love."

٤. تُحِبُّني قُلتُ مُجيباً لَهُ
وَفَوقَ ما تَرجو مِنَ الحُبِّ

5. She said, "Then pine away." I said, "My lady,
What is there in you that would not make one pine?"

٥. قالَ فَتَصبو قُلتُ يا سَيِّدي
وَأَيُّ شَيءٍ فيكَ لا يُصبي

6. She said, "Fear God, and leave this passion."
I said, "If only my heart would obey me."

٦. قالَ اِتَّقِ اللَهَ وَدَع ذا الهَوى
فَقُلتُ إِن طاوَعَني قَلبي
