1. By every means, women have a killer
And there's no way to kill women
١. بِكُلِّ سَبيلٍ لِلنِساءِ قَتيلُ
وَلَيسَ إِلى قَتلِ النِساءِ سَبيلُ
2. And in every house there is a need for those who love passionately
It is nothing but grief and anguished cries
٢. وَفي كُلِّ دارٍ لِلمُهِبّينَ حاجَةٌ
وَما هِيَ إِلّا عَبرَةٌ وَعَويلُ
3. My crying in longing is a relief
Will those who make me happy with crying be long?
٣. وَإِنَّ بُكائِيَ بِالطُلولِ لَراحَةٌ
فَهَل مُسعِداتي بِالبُكاءِ طُلولُ
4. It's as if there was no sight of your eyes in it
When the house is just a house and those who stay do stay
٤. كَأَن لَم يَكُن فيها لِعَينَيكِ مَنظَرٌ
إِذِ الدارُ دارٌ وَالحُلولُ حُلولُ
5. And when the beautiful ones of time brought us together
For connection, and the generous, noble arrival
٥. وَإِذ حَسَناتُ الدَهرِ يَجمَعنَ بَينَنا
عَلى الوَصلِ وَالحُرُّ الكَريمُ وَصولُ
6. The days have created between me and her
Animosities, and animosities do not fade for them
٦. فَأَحدَثَتِ الأَيّامُ بَيني وَبَينَها
ذُحولاً وَما تَفنى لَهُنَّ ذُحولُ
7. And if it wasn't for passion no lover would have been humiliated on earth
But the precious lover is humiliated
٧. وَلَولا الهَوى ما ذَلَّ في الأَرضِ عاشِقٌ
وَلَكِن عَزيزُ العاشِقينَ ذَليلُ
