O pearl that never gleamed in its diver’s palm
but he gazed upon it until the end of time.
قَلبيmy heart بِكَفِّكَin your palm لاnot أَرجوI hope for الفَكاكrelease لَهُfor it
قَلبي بِكَفِّكَ لا أَرجو الفَكاك لَهُ
مِثلlike الفَريسَةِprey حَلَّتhas fallen فيinto يَدَيthe two paws of أَسَدِa lion
مِثل الفَريسَةِ حَلَّت في يَدَي أَسَدِ
My heart is in your palm; I have no hope of its release,
like prey that has fallen into a lion’s paws.
