Your eyelids have weakened your body with sickness,

أعدت جفونك منك الجسم بالسقم

1. Your eyelids have weakened your body with sickness,
No, but my heart, it has pained it with torment,

١. أَعدتْ جفونُكَ مِنكَ الجسمَ بالسَّقَم
لا بل فؤادِي قد أَعْدَاهُ بالأَلَم

2. And indeed, your fever is from a fire kindled
In a cheek of yours that does not conceal its inflammation.

٢. وإِنَّ حُمّاك من نَارٍ توقُّدُهَا
في وَجنَةٍ لك لاَ تَخْبُو من الضَّرم

3. The sickness came to it seeking light from it.
O beauty of his cheeks, from a fire raised on a banner!

٣. جاءَ السَّقامُ إِليه يستضيءُ به
يا حسنَ خدَّيه من نارٍ على عَلَمِ

4. What is it with his fever that has flowed onto a lip,
I have continued to fear kissing it with my mouth?

٤. ما بال حُمّاه قد جارت على شفةٍ
ما زلت أُشْفِقُ من تقبيلِها بفمي

5. It has made the effect of kissing in his mouth
A shield for the seal of that bashful smile.

٥. قد صيّرتْ أَثرَ التقبيل في فَمِه
فَصّاً لَخَاتَمِ ذاك المَبْسِم الشَبِم
