أَما لِعَذلِ العَذولِ مِن آخِرْ

أَما لِعَذلِ العَذولِ مِن آخِرْ

وَلا عَلَيهِ إِن لَجَّ مِن حاجِرْ

Is there no end to the blamer's blame?

Nor anyone to restrain him if he persists?

Let him find fault; I shall not care.

يا ساحِراً لا يَنالُ بِغيَتَهُ

يا ساحِراً لا يَنالُ بِغيَتَهُ

مِنّي وَهَيهاتَ يُفلِحُ الساحِرْ

مِنّي وَهَيهاتَ يُفلِحُ الساحِرْ

O enchanter who cannot obtain his desire

O sorcerer, you'll never attain your wish,

From me—how far the enchanter is from success!

for this you will never achieve, O sorcerer.

أَبلَغُ أَهلِ الغَرامِ فيهِ أَنا

أَبلَغُ أَهلِ الغَرامِ فيهِ أَنا

القَلبُ وَالجَفنُ ناظِمٌ ناثِرْ

القَلبُ وَالجَفنُ ناظِمٌ ناثِرْ

I am the most eloquent of those enamored of him:

I have reached the utmost in passion for him;

My heart composes verse; my eyelid scatters.

my heart composes, my eyelids shed tears.

مُقتَسَمٌ بَينَ لَوعَةٍ تَرَكَت

مُقتَسَمٌ بَينَ لَوعَةٍ تَرَكَت

سِرّي وَدَمعي كَما تَرى سائِرْ

سِرّي وَدَمعي كَما تَرى سائِرْ

I am torn amid a burning anguish that has left

Divided between the anguish that left

My secret and my tears, as you see, flowing.

my secret and my tears flowing, as you see.
