1. O blamer of the lover, it is you
For everyone who loves and is enamored
١. يا لائِمَ العاشِقِ أَنتَ الَّذي
لِكُلِّ مَن يَهوى وَمَن يَعشَقُ
2. I sacrifice the one whose glance spoke to me
Secretly, away from people, and who converses
٢. فَدَيتُ مَن كَلَّمَني طَرفُهُ
سِرّاً مِنَ الناسِ وَمَن يَنطِقُ
3. Or hasn’t he, with his eyes, bid me peace
While his heart beats rapidly out of awe
٣. أَوما بِعَينَيهِ بِتَسليمَةٍ
وَقَلبُهُ مِن وَجَلٍ يَخفِقُ
4. I was happy, delighted, with what I attained
And my heart has within it a burning ember
٤. فَرِحتُ مَسروراً بِما نِلتُهُ
وَالقَلبُ فيهِ جَمرَةٌ تَحرِقُ
