يُنادونَ قَلبي وَالغَرامُ يُجيبُ

يُنادونَ قَلبي وَالغَرامُ يُجيبُ

وَلِلقَلبِ في حين النِداءِ وَجيبُ

وَلِلقَلبِ في حين النِداءِ وَجيبُ

They call to my heart, and passion answers.

They call upon my heart, and love responds

And the heart throbs at the moment of the call.

And the heart, when called, has a response

مَشوقٌ دَعاهُ الشَوقُ وَالوَجدُ وَالهَوى

مَشوقٌ دَعاهُ الشَوقُ وَالوَجدُ وَالهَوى

يُجيبُ نِداءَ الحُبِّ وَهوَ نَجيبُ

يُجيبُ نِداءَ الحُبِّ وَهوَ نَجيبُ

Filled with longing, summoned by yearning, ardor, and desire,

Yearning, summoned by longing, rapture and passion

It answers love's call, noble as it is.

Answers the call of love, for it is noble

يُقاسي فُؤادي الوَجدَ وَالحُبَّ واصِلٌ

يُقاسي فُؤادي الوَجدَ وَالحُبَّ واصِلٌ

فَكَيفَ تَراهُ إِن جَفاهُ حَبيبُ

فَكَيفَ تَراهُ إِن جَفاهُ حَبيبُ

My heart suffers longing, even while love keeps close.

My heart endures rapture and love unceasing

How, then, would you find it if a beloved shunned it?

So how could it turn away if the beloved is unkind?

إِذا أخَطأَ الأَحبابُ تَرتيبَ حالِهِم

إِذا أخَطأَ الأَحبابُ تَرتيبَ حالِهِم

فَإِنَّ فُؤادي دائما لَيُصيبُ

فَإِنَّ فُؤادي دائما لَيُصيبُ

If lovers err in arranging their affairs,

If the loved ones err in ordering their state

Then my heart surely always gets it right.

Then my heart is always apt to make amends

عَليمٌ بِأَسرار الغَرامِ لأَنَّهُ

عَليمٌ بِأَسرار الغَرامِ لأَنَّهُ

بَصيرٌ بِأدواء الحِسانِ طَبيبُ

بَصيرٌ بِأدواء الحِسانِ طَبيبُ

It knows the secrets of passion, for it is

Knowing secrets of love, for it is

A physician versed in the ailments of beautiful women.

Insightful of the cures for affection, a healer

يُواصِلُني سِرّا وَيُصرِمُ ظاهِراً

يُواصِلُني سِرّا وَيُصرِمُ ظاهِراً

وَذَلِكَ مِن أَفعالِهِنَّ عَجيبُ

وَذَلِكَ مِن أَفعالِهِنَّ عَجيبُ

My beloved keeps close to me in secret, yet breaks with me openly.

It communes with me in secret and feigns aloofness openly

And that, among their deeds, is strange.

Such are its wondrous deeds, a marvel
