حمام غدير مع غزالة وآدي

حمام غدير مع غزالة وآدي

رموني بِسهم في صميم فؤادي

رموني بِسهم في صميم فؤادي

Doves of a pool, with a valley's gazelle,

A dove at the pond with a gazelle and valley

They struck me with an arrow in the very core of my heart.

They shot me with an arrow in the heart of my soul

جَلبنَ هواناً من هواهُن للحشى

جَلبنَ هواناً من هواهُن للحشى

وصيرنني بين الأرآئك شادي

وصيرنني بين الأرآئك شادي

They brought humiliation from their love to my heart's depths,

They brought disgrace from their love to my heart

And made me a singer among the couches.

And made me among the cushions elated

وخضن غِمار الحُبِ والحُبُ شاهر

وخضن غِمار الحُبِ والحُبُ شاهر

لِقلبي سيفاً كي يُزيل وِدادي

لِقلبي سيفاً كي يُزيل وِدادي

And they plunged into love's depths, while love brandished

They entered the clouds of love and love unsheathed

A sword against my heart, to end my affection.

A sword to my heart to remove my affection

تصبرتُ حتى كُدتَ بالصبر أنتهي

تصبرتُ حتى كُدتَ بالصبر أنتهي

ويُنهينَ حُباً باكياً ويُنادي

ويُنهينَ حُباً باكياً ويُنادي

I forced myself to endure, until patience nearly ended me;

I was patient until almost exhausted by patience

And they end a love that weeps and calls out:

And they end a weeping love calling out

أما تَرحمون الحُب والحُبُ في الورى

أما تَرحمون الحُب والحُبُ في الورى

حياة لِمن في الحُب بعض رمادِ

حياة لِمن في الحُب بعض رمادِ

Will you not pity love, when love among humankind

Do you not have mercy on love while love in life

Is life for one who, in love, is but a little ash?

Is the life for those who love some ashes

ترددنَ من خوف وعُدنَ إلى الورا

ترددنَ من خوف وعُدنَ إلى الورا

وقُلنَ من الشاكي وأينَ منادِ

وقُلنَ من الشاكي وأينَ منادِ

They hesitated in fear and drew back,

They hesitated in fear and returned to the veil

And said: Who is complaining, and where is the caller?

And said who is the complainer and where is the caller

فقُلتُ وقد هزت بي الحُب والهوى

فقُلتُ وقد هزت بي الحُب والهوى

أنا بينكم لا أستمل سُهادي

أنا بينكم لا أستمل سُهادي

So I said, love and passion having shaken me:

So I said as love and passion shook me

I am among you; I do not tire of my sleeplessness.

I am among you I do not avoid my pillow

ضعوني حيثُ شئتم لأني في الورى

ضعوني حيثُ شئتم لأني في الورى

عُبيد لِحب والمحبةُ زادي

عُبيد لِحب والمحبةُ زادي

Place me wherever you wish, for among humankind I am

Put me wherever you wish for I am

A little slave to love, and affection is my sustenance.

A slave to love and love is my provision

شقيتُ بِكُم والشوقُ أصلُ شقاوتي

شقيتُ بِكُم والشوقُ أصلُ شقاوتي

وهمتَ ولا أدري لِمن أنا غادي

وهمتَ ولا أدري لِمن أنا غادي

I have suffered because of you; longing is the root of my misery.

I suffered because of you and longing is the origin of my agony

And I wandered, not knowing for whom I was setting out.

And I thought and I do not know to whom I am going

وكُنت كَمن أدلى بدلوٍ ليرتوي

وكُنت كَمن أدلى بدلوٍ ليرتوي

فلامسَ ريح الماء من قلبه الصادي

فلامسَ ريح الماء من قلبه الصادي

And I was like one who lowered a bucket to quench his thirst,

And I was like one who drew with a bucket to quench his thirst

Then, from his thirsty heart, he touched the scent of water.

But the wind touched the water from his pouring heart

عَتبتَ على أمسي ويومي وفي غدِ

عَتبتَ على أمسي ويومي وفي غدِ

أرى نور عيني مُمسكات قيادي

أرى نور عيني مُمسكات قيادي

I reproached my yesterday and my today; and tomorrow

You blamed my night, my day and tomorrow

I shall see the light of my eyes holding my reins.

I see the light of my eye withholding my rein

يقولون هلاٌ فقتَ من سكرة الهوى

يقولون هلاٌ فقتَ من سكرة الهوى

ولا أنت ناس حُبنا ومنادي

ولا أنت ناس حُبنا ومنادي

They say: Why have you not awakened from passion's intoxication?

They say why don't you wake from the intoxication of passion

And you neither forget our love nor call out.

And are you not people our love and our caller

فقُلتُ أليس الحُب قد قُدٌ من حشا

فقُلتُ أليس الحُب قد قُدٌ من حشا

وهل لِفتى يحيا بِدون فؤادِ

وهل لِفتى يحيا بِدون فؤادِ

So I said: Has love not been cut from the heart's depths?

So I said is not love an arrow from arrows

And can a young man live without a heart?

And does the youth live without a heart

تَبسمنَ حتى بانَ كُل تأسفٍ

تَبسمنَ حتى بانَ كُل تأسفٍ

وقُلنَ علينا وزر كل منادِ

وقُلنَ علينا وزر كل منادِ

They smiled until all regret became apparent,

They smiled until all sorrow appeared

And said: We bear the blame for every caller.

And said the guilt of every caller is upon us

بَعدنا هوانا عن هواكَ لأننا

بَعدنا هوانا عن هواكَ لأننا

خشينا بقاء الوصل بعد بِعادِ

خشينا بقاء الوصل بعد بِعادِ

We drew our love away from yours, because we

We distanced our disgrace from your love

Feared that union would endure after separation.

Fearing the remaining of union after separation

ولو أننا ملنا لِحبكَ مرةٍ

ولو أننا ملنا لِحبكَ مرةٍ

مكثنا زماناً لن ترى لنا فادي

مكثنا زماناً لن ترى لنا فادي

And had we inclined toward your love even once,

And if we got bored of your love once

We would have remained awhile; you would see no one to ransom us.

We would have stayed for an era without a savior
