I could not conceal my love for you.
I could not conceal my love for you,
He did not fully comprehend what was in my heart.
Nor could the one who knows my heart keep silent,

رعتَ قلباً بهِ وأنحلتَ جسما
Live unharmed, and do not pass the night in the anguish
Live safely and do not spend the night distressed,
With which you frightened a heart and wasted a body.
You have nurtured a heart and dissolved a body,

Sorrows have settled in my limbs;
Longings have settled in my limbs,
They have wounded them, so all bleed because of you.
Wounded by them, they all bleed for you,
كنbe رَحيماmerciful فقدfor indeed ملكتَyou have possessed سقيماًan ailing man
كن رَحيما فقد ملكتَ سقيماً
لاdo not تزدهadd to him بطولِthrough the length of هجرِكَyour abandonment سُقماsickness

Be merciful, for you hold an ailing man in your power.
Be kind, for you have possessed a sick man,
Do not worsen his sickness through your long abandonment.
Do not add to his illness with prolonged estrangement.
