1. جَهَرتُ بحبّكِ حَتى لقالوا

    بأني مُصَابٌ بِمَسِّ الجُنونْ

    I spoke so openly of my love for you that they would say

    That I am afflicted with a touch of madness,

  2. وأنَّكِ أودَيتِ بالعقلِ مِنّي

    وللحُبِّ في العَقلِ بعضُ الشؤونْ،

    And that you have done away with my reason;

    And love has some dealings with the mind.

  3. وماهَمَّني قَولهُُم غَيرَ أني

    أخافُ إذا ساورَتْكِ الظُّنونْ!

    And their words do not trouble me, except that I

    Fear when suspicions beset you!
