1. I gave my love unstintingly, but he
did not give me a mustard seed's worth of his love.
١. أَعطَيتُ حُبّي شادِناً لَم يُعطِني
مِثقالَ حَبَّةِ خَردَلٍ مِن حُبِّهِ
2. Life gives me no joy, because
I find its taste sweet only through him.
٢. لا تُستَلَذُّ لِيَ الحَياةُ لِأَنَّني
لا أَستَلَذُّ مَذاقَها إِلّا بِهِ
3. So let the heart that contains him
keep what is not in his heart a speck.
٣. فَليَبقَ لِلقَلبِ الَّذي فيهِ لَهُ
ما لَيسَ مِنهُ ذَرَّةٌ في قَلبِهِ
