سَأَترُكُ خالِداً لِهَوى جِنانِ

سَأَترُكُ خالِداً لِهَوى جِنانِ

وَإِن جَلَّ الَّذي عَنهُ أَتاني

وَإِن جَلَّ الَّذي عَنهُ أَتاني

I shall leave Khalid alone for love of Jinan,

I will leave Khaled to the love of Jinnan

I shall abandon Khalid to his passion for Jinan,

though grave is what has reached me from him.

Even if he who came to me stays away for long

However grave the news of him that reached my ears;

فَقُل مِن بَعدِ ذا ما شِئتَ أَو زِد

فَقُل مِن بَعدِ ذا ما شِئتَ أَو زِد

فَقَد أَمسَيتَ مِنّي في أَمانِ

فَقَد أَمسَيتَ مِنّي في أَمانِ

So, after this, say what you wish—or say more;

So say after this what you wish or more

So say whatever you desire now, or speak yet more,

for you are now safe from me.

For you have become for me a safe haven

For you are truly safe and shielded from my harm.

لَقَد أَغلَقتَ بابَكَ دونَ ظَبيٍ

لَقَد أَغلَقتَ بابَكَ دونَ ظَبيٍ

خَتَمتَ بِمُقلَتَيهِ عَلى لِساني

خَتَمتَ بِمُقلَتَيهِ عَلى لِساني

You have indeed shut your door on a gazelle;

You closed your door to a deer

You barred your door against a lovely gazelle,

with its two eyes you have sealed my tongue.

And sealed my tongue with its lashes

And with his eyes, you set a seal upon my tongue.
