What lies beyond the eyes’ remoteness in you?
No eyes can see beyond your eyes
Love has blessed your lovers for your sake.
My love for you brings happiness

No wonder if it quenched a burning thirst
No wonder he found his cure
that prolonged love had bestowed on you.
In loving you for so long

يا سائلي أين حلَّ قلبي
لاthere is no أينَwhere ماas long as كانَit is فيin يديكاyour two hands
لا أينَ ما كانَ في يديكا
O you who ask me where my heart has settled:
You ask where has my heart gone
there is no ‘where’ as long as it is in your hands.
Not where it was, but where your hand has taken it

وراد أوراد وجنتيكا
If one day it had kept faith, it fulfilled its pledge,
If one day it was true to its faith
and sought the roses of your cheeks.
Returning to your cheeks' roses and gardens
