1. They said abstain, I said how when
All I want is love to be sweet and blissful
١. وَقالوا تَصَبَّر قُلتُ كَيفَ وَإِنَّما
أُريدُ الهَوى حَتّى أَلَذَّ وَأَنعَما
2. And to take a glance from the one I love
As healing, and to find a visitor showing peace
٢. وَيَأخُذُ لَحظَ العَينِ مِمَّن أُحِبُّهُ
شِفاءً وَأَلقى زائِراً وَمُسَلِّما
3. If I were among those who avoid people in passion
Avoiding my Lord would be more virtuous and generous
٣. لَو كُنتُ مِمَّن يَتَّقي الناسَ في الهَوى
لَكانَ تُقى رَبّي أَعَفَّ وَأَكرَما
