1. My heart refused to be divided
And insisted on belonging to you utterly
١. أَبى القَلبُ إِلّا أن يَكونَ جَميعُهُ
لَدَيكَ وَإِن قَسَّمتَهُ قَد تَقَسَّما
2. So how could the morning breeze compare to you
And what homeland but passion could ever quench my thirst
٢. فَلا وَطَرٌ غَيرُ الصِبا كَيفَ بِالصِبا
وَلا وَطَنٌ غَيرُ الحِمى سُقِيَ الحِمى
3. The fragrant breeze along with dawn
Was like a mouth of thirst in the dark of night
٣. نَسيمٌ مَعَ الآصالِ كَالعَتبِ في الهَوى
وَزَهرٌ مَعَ الأَسحارِ كَالثَغرِ في الظَما
4. Perhaps without meaning is this "perhaps"
Yes, I thirst for you desperately so "perhaps"
٤. لَعَلَّ وَلا مَعنى لِما في لَعَلَّما
نَعَم إِنَّني عَطشانُ مِنكَ لَعَلَّ ما
5. You are a rain-filled sky to the afflicted
So do not blame the thirsty one drinking from the heavens
٥. عَلَوتَ سَماءً لِلمِلاحِ فَلا تَلُم
إِذا اِستَنزَلَ العَطشانُ ماءً مِنَ السَما
