A beautiful one has settled in my heart, so he is my desire.
Beautiful he is to my heart for he's my desire
And he has kindled the fires of longing in my heart.
And I kindle the fires of longing with my heart

ألا ليت شعري هل أفوز بقربه
وأحظىand attain علىin رغمspite of العدىthe foes بمراديmy desire

Ah, would that I knew whether I shall win nearness to him,
Oh if only my poetry reveals if I’ll gain nearness
And attain my desire despite the foes.
And if despite enemies, attain what I desire
