مُذsince ذُقتُI tasted صَهباءَtawny wine الهوَىlove
مُذ ذُقتُ صَهباءَ الهوَى
بِالوَجدِthrough longing فيهِin it دامَendured سُكريmy intoxication
بِالوَجدِ فيهِ دامَ سُكري
Since I tasted love's tawny wine,
Since I tasted the wine of love
Through longing, my intoxication in it has endured.
With passion in it, my intoxication remained
وَوَجَدتُand I found قَلبيmy heart فيin الهَوىlove
وَوَجَدتُ قَلبي في الهَوى
كَحَمامَةٍlike a dove فيin كَفِّgrasp صَقرِa falcon
كَحَمامَةٍ في كَفِّ صَقرِ
And I found my heart in love
And I found my heart in love
Like a dove in a falcon's grasp.
Like a dove in the grip of a falcon
