جِنانُ أَضنى جَسَدي حُبُّكُم

جِنانُ أَضنى جَسَدي حُبُّكُم

فَلَيسَ إِلّا شَبَحٌ قائِمُ

فَلَيسَ إِلّا شَبَحٌ قائِمُ

Jinan, love for you has wasted my body away;

The gardens of delight have wasted my body, your love

Jinan, your love has wasted my body away,

so it is nothing but a standing specter.

So I am but a specter standing upright

Leaving nothing but a standing phantom.

وَلَيسَ لي جيبُ قَميصٍ وَلا

وَلَيسَ لي جيبُ قَميصٍ وَلا

يَثبُتُ في خِنصَرِيَ الخاتَمُ

يَثبُتُ في خِنصَرِيَ الخاتَمُ

And I have no shirt collar, nor

I have no shirt pocket, no ring steadfast

My shirt finds no chest to fill its fold, nor

does the ring stay on my little finger.

On my waist

Does the ring stay fixed upon my little finger.

إِن لَم يَكُن ما قُلتُهُ هَكَذا

إِن لَم يَكُن ما قُلتُهُ هَكَذا

إِنّي إِذَن يا ظالِمي ظالِمُ

إِنّي إِذَن يا ظالِمي ظالِمُ

If what I have said is not so,

If I have not said it just so

If what I have spoken is not the truth,

then indeed, O you who wrong me, I am unjust.

Then I am, my tormentors, unjust

Then I, O my oppressor, am the oppressor.
