هواك يا من له اختيال

هواك يا من له اختيال

ما لي على مثله احتيال

ما لي على مثله احتيال

My love for you, O you of haughty bearing—

Your love, O one who has my imagination,

I have no stratagem against its like.

I have no trickery over the likes of it,

قسمة أفعاله لحيني

قسمة أفعاله لحيني

ثلاثةُ ما لها انتقال

ثلاثةُ ما لها انتقال

Its acts, to my undoing, are divided

His actions towards me are divided

Into three kinds that never change:

Into three, they do not change,

وعدك مستقبل وصبري

وعدك مستقبل وصبري

ماضٍ وشوقي إليك حال

ماضٍ وشوقي إليك حال

Your promise is future, and my patience

Your promise is the future, and my patience

Is past, and my longing for you is present.

Is the past, while my longing for you is the present.
