By the stars on the cheek of the beloved when he fell

والنجم في خد الحبيب إذا هوى

1. By the stars on the cheek of the beloved when he fell
My heart has not strayed from its passion, nor has it gone astray

١. والنَّجمِ فِي خَدّ الحَبِيبِ إذا هَوى
مَا ضلَّ قَلبِي عَن هَواهُ ومَا غَوى

2. I swear by him, by his past, and by his beauty
I have not turned away from that red ruby, even if it twisted

٢. قَسَماً بِهِ وبِسَالِفَيهِ وخَالِهِ
لَم أثنِ عَن ذاك العَقِيقِ ولَو لَوى

3. O pearl that grew with the outpouring of my tears
The sea falls short of protecting what it contained

٣. يَا دُرَّةً نَشَأت بِفَيضِ مَدامِعِي
البَحرُ يَعجِزُ عَن صِيَانَةٍ مَا حَوى

4. They said emerald, I said that is his excuse
They said it drowned, I said in the sea of passion

٤. قَالُوا الزُّمُرُّدُ قَلتُ ذاك عِذارُهُ
قَالُوا غَرِيقٌ قُلتُ في بَحرِ الهَوى

5. Others have plucked the ripe fruit of love
While I who planted the growth of passion in my heart

٥. غَيرِي جَنَى ثَمَر المَحَبَّةِ يَانِعاً
وأنَا الَّذِي فِي مُهجَتِي غرس النَّوى

6. I'm certain you're my killer and tormentor
And for every bender, reality holds what it foretold

٦. أيقَنتُ أنَّك قَاتِلِي ومُعَذّبِي
ولِكُلّ نَاوٍ فِي الحَقِيقَة مَا نوَآ
