1. O you who cure the body when it's healthy
Grant me, for all the life I spent on you, survival
١. يا مُمْرِضَ الجِسْمِ مِنِّي عِنْدَ صِحَّتِهِ
هَبْ لِي عَلى طُولِ ما أَفْنى عَلَيْكَ بَقَا
2. And whoever fell in love with my body, love-sick with its sight
For when he saw in it my illness, he fell in love
٢. وَمَنْ تَعَشَّقَ جِسْمِي سُقْمَ ناظِرِهِ
لَمَّا رَآهُ لِسُقْمِي فِيهِ قَدْ عَشِقا
3. You tempted me with illness until, tempted by it
As though my illness was created from your eyelids
٣. أَغْرَيْتَ بِالسُّقْمِ حَتَّى إِذْ غُرِيتُ بِهِ
كأَنَّ سُقْمِيَ مِنْ جَفْنَيْكَ قَدْ خُلِقا
