فلسان حالى لم يزل لى شاهدا

فلسان حالى لم يزل لى شاهدا

أن ليس لى من داء شوقى واقي

أن ليس لى من داء شوقى واقي

For the tongue of my state has never ceased to bear witness for me,

My state of being has remained a witness for me

That I have no protector against the malady of my longing.

That I have no protector from the illness of my passion

وغدا عذولى فى الهوى متجنبا

وغدا عذولى فى الهوى متجنبا

عنى ونور الحب في اشراق

عنى ونور الحب في اشراق

And my reproacher in love came to keep away

And tomorrow my beloved will avoid me in love

From me, while the light of love shone forth,

While the light of love is dawning

حتى تنفس فجر وصل أحبتى

حتى تنفس فجر وصل أحبتى

فجلا ظلام جفاهم وفراقي

فجلا ظلام جفاهم وفراقي

Until the dawn of union with my beloveds breathed,

Until the dawn of union with my loved ones breathes

And dispelled the darkness of their estrangement and my separation.

Dispelling the darkness of their estrangement and my separation

فحلا لدى الحب بل طاب الهوى

فحلا لدى الحب بل طاب الهوى

عندى وفزت بكأسه والساقي

عندى وفزت بكأسه والساقي

So love grew sweet to me—nay, passion became delightful

So love has adorned itself for me, rather love is delightful

To me, and I won its cup and the cupbearer.

For me, and I have won its cup and the cupbearer
