My heart called me to congratulate it

دعا قلبي لتهنئته بياني

1. My heart called me to congratulate it
But my words fell short, though they went on

١. دَعَا قَلْبِي لِتَهْنِئَتْهِ بَيَانِي
فَقَصَّرَ دُونَهَا وَبِهِ تَمَادِي

2. If the rhymes were to come from the sun
They would be too narrow for my love

٢. لَوِ انْتَظَمَتْ مِنَ الشَّمْسِ القَوَافِي
أَشِعَّتهَا لَضاَقَتْ عَنْ وَدَادِي

3. And if the melodies of songsters were to widen
They would not encompass the yearning in my heart

٣. وَلَوْ وَسَعَت أَغَارِيدَ الشَّوَادِي
لَمَا وَسَعَتْ حَنِيناً مِنْ فُؤَادِي

4. And if the fragrance of the garden were gathered
The breezes would not gather my wishes

٤. وَلَوْ جَمَعَتْ عَبِيرَ الرَّوْضِ تَمْضِي
بِهِ النَّسمَاتُ لَمْ تَجْمَعْ مرَادِي

5. When love goes beyond every limit
Can it be confined in ink?

٥. إِذَا مَا الْحبُّ جَاوَزَ كُلَّ حَدٍّ
يُحَدُّ بِهِ أَيُحْبَسُ فِي مَدَادِ
