ما هَانَ دَمعيَ حتَّى هَانَ فيهِ دَمِي

ما هَانَ دَمعيَ حتَّى هَانَ فيهِ دَمِي

فَدَعْ مَلامَكَ لي في الحبِّ أَوْ فلُمِ

فَدَعْ مَلامَكَ لي في الحبِّ أَوْ فلُمِ

My tears were not held cheap until my blood was held cheap in them.

My tears have not diminished until my blood diminished in them

So spare me your reproach for love—or else reproach me.

So leave your blame of me in love or keep silent

أَشكُو السَّقامَ ومَا تَشكُوهُ مُقلتُهُ

أَشكُو السَّقامَ ومَا تَشكُوهُ مُقلتُهُ

مَرْضَى الجفونِ مُعَاناةٌ مِن الأَلَمِ

مَرْضَى الجفونِ مُعَاناةٌ مِن الأَلَمِ

I complain of sickness, while his eye does not complain of it.

I complain of lovesickness, though its pain does not complain

Those with ailing eyelids—suffering from pain.

The sickness of the eyelids is agony from torment
