أعجم هواك واجفاني عنهُ يفصحن

أعجم هواك واجفاني عنهُ يفصحن

ويخونني فيك وهنَّ لي ينصحن

ويخونني فيك وهنَّ لي ينصحن

I keep my love for you unspoken, yet my eyelids declare it.

Your love has struck me dumb, yet still my eyes speak of it,

And they betray me concerning you, though they wish me well.

And though you betray me, yet my love continues to counsel me.

لا باس باهواك لو اضحن دماً ينضحن

لا باس باهواك لو اضحن دماً ينضحن

عادات أهل الغرام جفونهم يفضحن

عادات أهل الغرام جفونهم يفضحن

There is no harm in loving you, even if they come to ooze blood.

I would not mind bleeding for your love,

Lovers’ ways: their eyelids expose them.

For those accustomed to passion have eyes that expose their souls.
