وَما كانَ حالي مِثلَ حالِ حَمامَةٍ

وَما كانَ حالي مِثلَ حالِ حَمامَةٍ

وَإِنّ كِلَينا بِالغَرامِ مطوّقُ

وَإِنّ كِلَينا بِالغَرامِ مطوّقُ

My state was not like that of a dove,

My state is not like a dove's state

Though both of us are collared by love.

Though we both have love's collar on our necks

فَطوقي بِهِ أفني جَميعَ مَحاسني

فَطوقي بِهِ أفني جَميعَ مَحاسني

وَهاتِيكم اِزدانَت بِما تَتَطوّقُ

وَهاتِيكم اِزدانَت بِما تَتَطوّقُ

For with my collar I destroy all my charms,

My collar made me lose all my beauty

While that dove is adorned by what she wears as a collar.

While yours made you adorned as you wished
