He who seeks me has driven me mad with love—

My love captivates me

A radiant little gazelle.

A gazelle, so beautiful

بطرفه حسام

بطرفه حسام

والقد سمهري

والقد سمهري

In his glance is a sword,

With eyes like a sword

And his figure is a slender lance.

And stature, slender

ووجهه كشمس

ووجهه كشمس

شعاعها بردي

شعاعها بردي

And his face is like a sun,

His face like the sun

Its radiance is my cloak.

Whose rays are soft

جبينه فجري

جبينه فجري

وشعره ليلي

وشعره ليلي

His brow is my dawn,

His forehead, radiant

And his hair my night.

His hair, dark like night

ونرجسي عين

ونرجسي عين

ثغيره عطري

ثغيره عطري

And my narcissus is an eye;

His eyes like narcissus

His little mouth is my perfume.

Charming and fragrant

مستكمل المعاني

مستكمل المعاني

هيكله السني

هيكله السني

Complete in every grace

Perfect in meaning

Is his radiant form.

His form, flawless

حيرني مرآه

حيرني مرآه

وطبعه الابي

The sight of him bewildered me,

His gaze troubles me

And his proud nature.

His nature, gentle

ومن لظى قلاه

ومن لظى قلاه

ففي الفؤاد كي

ففي الفؤاد كي

And from the blaze of his disdain,

When I dream of his cheeks

There is a searing burn within my heart.

My heart flutters inside

يا ريم رفقا اني

يا ريم رفقا اني

لميت وحي

لميت وحي

O gazelle, be gentle, for I

Oh Rim, have mercy

Am indeed dead and alive.

For I have died from love

وفي الهوى لعمري

وفي الهوى لعمري

لي الهيام زي

لي الهيام زي

And in love, by my life,

And truly for my life

Love's frenzy is my garb.

I am lovesick for him

ومن صميم سقمي

ومن صميم سقمي

فما لجسمي فيّ

فما لجسمي فيّ

And from the very depth of my sickness,

From the core of my illness

My body casts no shadow.

My body has no strength

اسهر فيك ليلي

اسهر فيك ليلي

وهكذا الشجي

وهكذا الشجي

I spend my night sleepless over you,

I stay up for you at night

And so it is with the grief-stricken.

And so does the passionate one

ويدعي غرامي

ويدعي غرامي

خادعك الدعي

خادعك الدعي

And my passion is claimed

My love claims

By the impostor who deceives you.

That your charm deceives

نشر الهوى بسري

نشر الهوى بسري

له عليك طي

له عليك طي

Love's unfolding in my secret heart

Love has spread my secret

Remains folded away from you.

It has power over you

فانت نور عيني

فانت نور عيني

وسري الخفي

وسري الخفي

For you are the light of my eye,

For you are the light of my eye

And my hidden secret.

And my hidden mystery

على هواك روحي

على هواك روحي

شراعها مطوي

شراعها مطوي

My soul, in love with you,

For your love my soul

Has its sail furled.

Its sails furled

غرامها بمعنى

غرامها بمعنى

هواك سرمدي

هواك سرمدي

Its passion, in the sense of

Its passion is for the meaning

Love for you, is everlasting.

Of your eternal love

فوجدها خفي

فوجدها خفي

وشأنها جلي

وشأنها جلي

So its yearning is hidden,

It found it hidden

And its state is plain.

And its state obvious

ووقدها مذاع

ووقدها مذاع

وزندها وري

وزندها وري

And its burning is made known,

And kindled it broadcast

And its firestick is kindled.

And ignited it flaring

متى اراك قربي

متى اراك قربي

والروض عبقري

When shall I see you near me,

When will I see you close

With the garden wondrous,

While the garden is fragrant

ويحي موت قلبي

ويحي موت قلبي

رضابك الشهي

رضابك الشهي

And my dead heart revived

And revive the death of my heart

By your luscious saliva?

With your radiant presence

كاس لماك حلو

كاس لماك حلو

وعطره زكي

وعطره زكي

The cup of your dusky lips is sweet,

A cup of your sweet wine

And its fragrance is sweet.

Its fragrance pure

مدامه رحيق

مدامه رحيق

ختامه مسكي

ختامه مسكي

Its wine is pure,

Its substance heavenly nectar

Its seal is musk-scented.

Sealed with musk
