مَن لي بِكِتمانِ هَوى شادِنٍ

مَن لي بِكِتمانِ هَوى شادِنٍ

عَيني لَهُ عَونٌ عَلى قَلبي

عَيني لَهُ عَونٌ عَلى قَلبي

Who can help me conceal my love for a young gazelle?

Who will help me conceal my passionate love,

My eye is his ally against my heart.

My eyes assist it against my heart,

عَرَّضتُ صَبري وَسُلُوّي لَهُ

عَرَّضتُ صَبري وَسُلُوّي لَهُ

فَاِستَشهَدا في طاعَةِ الحُبِّ

فَاِستَشهَدا في طاعَةِ الحُبِّ

I exposed my patience and my solace to him;

I exposed my patience and composure to it,

so both were martyred in obedience to love.

So they were martyred obeying love.
