إذا تعذَّرَ حِبي

إذا تعذَّرَ حِبي

فخلِّهِ يتعذَّرُ

فخلِّهِ يتعذَّرُ

If my beloved grows whiskers,

If my love becomes difficult,

then let him grow them;

Then let it remain difficult,

فجيدُهُ أصلُ ما بي

فجيدُهُ أصلُ ما بي

والجيدُ لا يتغيَّرُ

والجيدُ لا يتغيَّرُ

for his neck is the source of my affliction,

For it is the essence of my being,

and the neck does not change.

And essence does not change.
