ياO قلبُheart ليسَis not بماwith what تقاسيyou suffer الصابرُthe steadfast one
يا قلبُ ليسَ بما تقاسي الصابرُ
فأخوfor the companion of الهوىlove إذsince أنتَyou فيهِin it طائِرُa bird
فأخو الهوى إذ أنتَ فيهِ طائِرُ
O heart, the steadfast cannot bear what you suffer.
Oh heart, the patient one suffers not as you do
For the companion of love—since you are in it—is a bird.
For the lover's brother, while you are restless

O, how long your separation! How has the breast grown too strait for you,
Oh how narrow it has become for you, the expanse
Its endurance spent, while you remember despite your sorrow?
A forearm's length, while you recall your gloom

You hope for deliverance from affliction, after
You hope for relief from affliction, after
You have tasted love, and a dark-eyed one with a restrained gaze has captured you—
You've tasted love, and destiny encircles you

مَن ليسَ تمتنِعُ القلوبُ على الهوى

One for whom hearts cannot resist love,
He whose heart does not refuse love
As long as a gazing eye calls them to it.
As long as he calls it to look upon him
