وَزادَت فؤادي نواه جَوى
His eyes struck my very heart.
My gaze struck him
And separation from him deepened my heart's burning anguish.
And my heart's yearning grew
فَقُلتُso I said وقدwhile already أَكثرwent on at length العاذلونthe reproachers
فَقُلتُ وقد أَكثر العاذلون

دَعوني فإنّي قَتيلُ النَوا
So I said, as the reproachers went on at length:
I said, though reproachers abound
Leave me be, for I am slain by separation.
Leave me be, for I'm love's martyr
