ياO حبيباbeloved قدindeed راعهfrightened him حرheat قلبa heart
يا حبيبا قد راعه حر قلب
وعجيبٌand it is strange أنيthat I بهin it مستقيمsteadfast
وعجيبٌ أني به مستقيم
O beloved, whom a heart's heat has frightened,
O beloved, a burning heart has troubled him
And strange it is that I remain steadfast in it.
And strangely enough, I am steadfast because of it
ليسdoes not يخشىfear اللهيبthe blaze منone who كانwas مثليlike me
ليس يخشى اللهيب من كان مثلي
حينwhen غبتمyou were absent ببحرin a sea دمعtears يعومhe swims
حين غبتم ببحر دمع يعوم
One like me does not fear the blaze,
He who is like me does not fear the flames
Who, when you were gone, swims in a sea of tears.
When you were absent, in a sea of tears I swam
