قَدْ أَصْبَحَ آخِرُ الهَوى أَوَّلَهُ

قَدْ أَصْبَحَ آخِرُ الهَوى أَوَّلَهُ

فَالعَاذِلُ فِي هَواكَ ما لِي وَلهُ

فَالعَاذِلُ فِي هَواكَ ما لِي وَلهُ

Love’s end has now become its beginning.

So what have I to do with the reproacher of my love for you?

باللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ خَلِّ ما أوَّلُهُ

باللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ خَلِّ ما أوَّلُهُ

وَارْحَمْ دَنِفاً حَشْوُ حَشاه وَلَهُ

وَارْحَمْ دَنِفاً حَشْوُ حَشاه وَلَهُ

By God, I beg you, leave aside “What was its beginning?”

And pity a lovesick man whose heart is filled with anguished longing.
