يا خليلي بالروح أفدى حبيباً

يا خليلي بالروح أفدى حبيباً

حسنه أجمعت عليه الخلائق

حسنه أجمعت عليه الخلائق

O my two friends, with my soul I would ransom a beloved;

O my two friends, I would ransom a beloved with my soul,

all creation is of one accord upon his beauty.

whose beauty all creation has unanimously agreed upon.

ولهذا لم ألق فيه عذولا

ولهذا لم ألق فيه عذولا

فتوهمت أنني غير عاشق

فتوهمت أنني غير عاشق

And for that reason I have found no one to reproach me for him,

And so I have met no one to reproach me for loving him,

so I fancied that I was not in love.

so I imagined that I was not in love.
