The lovers acquiesce to love's decrees,

للعاشقين بأحكام الغرام رضا

1. The lovers acquiesce to love's decrees,
So do not, my boy, object to separation.

١. لِلْعاشِقينَ بِأَحْكَامِ الغَرَامِ رِضَا
فَلا تَكُنْ يا فَتى بِالعَذْلِ مُعْتَرِضا

2. My soul is ransom for my loved ones, even if
They break the pact of the lover, who never broke a pact.

٢. رُوحي الفِدَاءُ لأَحْبابي وَإِنْ نَقَضُوا
عَهْدَ المُحِبِّ الَّذي لِلْعَهْدِ مَا نَقَضَا

3. Stop and listen to the tale of the smitten youth they killed,
Who died loving them, before attaining his goal.

٣. قِفْ واسْتَمِعْ سِيرَةَ الصَّبِّ الَّذي قَتَلُوا
فَماتَ في حُبِّهِم لَمْ يَبْلُغِ الغَرَضَا

4. He saw and fell in love, yearned for union, but they refused.
He tried patience, but it exhausted him, so he passed away.

٤. رَأَى فَحبَّ فَسامَ الوَصْلَ فامْتَنَعُوا
فَرامَ صَبْراً فأَعْيَا نَيْلُهُ فَقَضَى
