تُرى عِندَ مَن أَحبَبتُهُ لا عَدِمتُهُ

تُرى عِندَ مَن أَحبَبتُهُ لا عَدِمتُهُ

مِنَ الشَوقِ ما عِندي وَما أَنا صانِعُ

مِنَ الشَوقِ ما عِندي وَما أَنا صانِعُ

I wonder: does the one I love—may I never lose him—

I wonder, does the one I love—may I never lose him—have

harbor the love I harbor? And what am I to do?

the longing I have? And what am I to do?

جَميعي إِذا حَدَّثتُ عَن ذاكَ أَلسُنٌ

جَميعي إِذا حَدَّثتُ عَن ذاكَ أَلسُنٌ

وَكُلّي إِذا حُدِّثتُ عَنهُ مُسامِعُ

وَكُلّي إِذا حُدِّثتُ عَنهُ مُسامِعُ

My whole being, when I speak of that one, becomes tongues;

All of me is tongues when I speak of that one,

and all of me, when I am told of him, becomes ears.

and all of me is ears when I am told of him.
