1. You own a tenth of my heart, and your love
Has taken over my body, leaving it to sadness and torment.
١. مَلَكْتَ أَعْشَارَ قَلْبِي وَهَوَاكَ حَوَى
جِسْمِي فَأَسْلَمَهُ لِلْبَثِّ وَالْحَزَنِ
2. So intercede with your union, bring my body relief,
And attach it to my burdened heart, saving it from trials.
٢. فَاشْفَعْ بِوَصْلِكَ جِسْمِي وَاضْمُمَنْهُ إِلَى
قَلْبِي الْمُعَنَّى وَخَلِّصْهُ مِنَ الْمِحَنِ
3. Rejoice in owning a young man, whom neither
The wealth of Iraq nor the kingdom of the son of Yazan can equal.
٣. وَاهْنَأْ بِمِلْكِ فَتىً مَا إِنْ يُعَادِلُهُ
مَالُ الْعِرَاقِ وَلاَ مُلْكُ ابْنِ ذِي يَزَنِ
