أَفدي طبيباً فاقَ البرايا

أَفدي طبيباً فاقَ البرايا

إذْ كُحلُهُ في العيونِ حُسْنُ

إذْ كُحلُهُ في العيونِ حُسْنُ

I would give my life for a physician who surpassed all humankind,

I'd ransom a healer surpassing the wilds

for his kohl is beauty in the eyes.

When his kohl in eyes is beauty's tune

أسيافُ لحظِ الحبيبِ كَلّتْ

أسيافُ لحظِ الحبيبِ كَلّتْ

فَهْيَ بأسيافهِ تُسَنُّ

فَهْيَ بأسيافهِ تُسَنُّ

The swords of the beloved’s glance have grown dull,

Swords of the beloved's glance have sharpened

so they are sharpened by his swords.

So with his swords she's honing them

لأَجلهِ إذْ غَدَتْ سُيوفاً

لأَجلهِ إذْ غَدَتْ سُيوفاً

كُلُّ طَبيبٍ لهُ مِسَنُّ

كُلُّ طَبيبٍ لهُ مِسَنُّ

For his sake, since they have become swords,

For his sake when they've swords become

every physician is a whetstone for him.

Every healer for him a blade does whet
