عُلِّقتُ مَن عُلِّقَني

عُلِّقتُ مَن عُلِّقَني

فَكُلُّنا مُتَّفِقُ

فَكُلُّنا مُتَّفِقُ

I am enamored of one who is enamored of me;

I hung who hung me

I am attached to one attached to me,

so we are both of one accord.

We're all in agreement

And thus, in all things, we agree.

إِن غابَ لَم أَظنُن بِهِ

إِن غابَ لَم أَظنُن بِهِ

وَهوَ بِغَيبي يَثِقُ

وَهوَ بِغَيبي يَثِقُ

If he is absent, I think no ill of him,

If he's absent, I don't doubt him

If he is absent, I harbor no doubt of him,

and he trusts me in my absence.

He trusts me when I'm away

And he, in my absence, places his trust.

لَو شِئتُ أَن يُلثِمَني

لَو شِئتُ أَن يُلثِمَني

فاهُ وَحَولي حِلَقُ

فاهُ وَحَولي حِلَقُ

If I wished him to let me kiss

If I wanted him to kiss me

If I desired that he should press his mouth

his mouth, with circles of people around me,

His mouth and my neck bare

To mine, though crowds stood round in rings,

لَقامَ لا يَمنَعُهُ

لَقامَ لا يَمنَعُهُ

مِمّا أَشاءُ الحَدَقُ

مِمّا أَشاءُ الحَدَقُ

he would rise; he would not be stopped

He would stand, nothing preventing

He would rise up, and nothing could deter him

from what I desire by watching eyes.

Me getting what I want

From what I wish—not even staring eyes.
