1. My glowing heart is melted,
Is there relief for my anxiety?
١. أَذابَ قَلبي الوَهجُ
فَهَل لَهمي فَرجُ
2. Nothing remains for me but a trickle,
O fading breaths that wrestle,
٢. لَم يَبقَ لي إِلّا بَقا
يا رَمَق تَختَلج
3. While in me a mountain white like hail,
With cheeks flowing and stirring,
٣. وَبي أَغَر أَبلَج
في وَجنَتَيهِ ضرج
4. Finding ecstasy in beauty,
With a supple glance that enchants,
٤. يَوجد وجداً في الجَما
د مِنهُ لَحظ غَنج
5. In his cheek the water of life,
Mixed with embers,
٥. في خَدهِ ماءُ الحَيا
بِجَمرِهِ مُمتَزَج
6. Angered by my love for him,
Yet no shame in it,
٦. يُغضِب مِن حُبي لَهُ
وَلَيسَ فيهِ حَرَج
7. He has immersed himself in my embrace,
My tears copiously shed,
٧. قَد لَجَّ في صَدودِهِ
فَدَمع عَيني لَجج
8. Love is a disturbing house,
Where the passionate dissolve,
٨. وَالحُب دارٌ مُزعِجٌ
تَذوب فيهِ المُهَج
9. So blame not the lovers,
For blame in this is unjust,
٩. فَلا تَلُم أَهل الهَوى
فَاللَوم فيهِ سَمج
10. If the lovers found a door to salvation,
They would have rushed through.
١٠. لَو وَجَدَ العُشاق لل
نَجاة باباً وَلَجوا
