1. Tell the bending boughs of banana
Under the shining moon and above the breeze
١. قُل لِغُصنِ البانِ الَّذي يَتَثَنّى
تَحتَ بَدرِ الدُجى وَفَوقَ النَقاء
2. I concealed what was in my heart, so it grew
Sighs that cover the talk of the air
٢. رُمتُ كِتمانَ ما بِقَلبي فَنَمَّت
زَفَراتٌ تَغشى حَديثَ الهَواء
3. And tears that say on the cheek, O you
Who cries like this, such would be weeping
٣. وَدُموعٌ تَقولُ في الخَدِّ يا مَن
يَتَباكى كَذا يَكونُ البُكاء
4. People have no place in my heart
For it has filled, with love of you, to overflowing
٤. لَيسَ لِلناسِ مَوضِعٌ في فُؤادي
زادَ فيهِ هَواكَ جَفني اِمتِلاء
