أتيتَ فؤاديَ من مأمَنه

أتيتَ فؤاديَ من مأمَنه

وحرَّكتَ ما كانَ من ساكِنه

وحرَّكتَ ما كانَ من ساكِنه

You approached my heart from its safe quarter,

You came to my heart from its refuge

And stirred whatever within it had lain still.

And stirred what was of its calm

وأظهرتَ بالدمعِ ما لم يَزَل

وأظهرتَ بالدمعِ ما لم يَزَل

مَصوناً عزيزاً على صائِنه

مَصوناً عزيزاً على صائِنه

And with tears you revealed what had always remained

And showed with tears what had always been

Guarded, precious to its keeper.

Precious and guarded by its keeper

أرى الجِسم ظاهرُهُ ناطقٌ

أرى الجِسم ظاهرُهُ ناطقٌ

شهيدٌ بما كانَ في باطِنه

شهيدٌ بما كانَ في باطِنه

I see the body's outward form speaking,

I see the body, its exterior speaks

A witness to what lay within it.

A martyr of what was in its interior

يمازجهُ سقمٌ دائمٌ

يمازجهُ سقمٌ دائمٌ

لشوقِ الفؤادِ إلى فاتِنه

لشوقِ الفؤادِ إلى فاتِنه

An unceasing sickness mingles with it,

It mingles with constant sickness

From the heart's longing for its enchanter.

For the heart's longing for its beauty
