العَقلُ قَد ضَاع

العَقلُ قَد ضَاع

إِذ مِسكُك غَزالي ضَاع

إِذ مِسكُك غَزالي ضَاع

Reason has been lost,

As your musk, my gazelle, spread its fragrance.

وَالهَجرُ لي رَاع

وَالهَجرُ لي رَاع

وَالمَولى لِحُسنِك راع

وَالمَولى لِحُسنِك راع

And separation has frightened me,

And the Lord is your beauty’s guardian.

وَالصّبُّ قَد باع

وَالصّبُّ قَد باع

نَفسه ما بَقى لَه باع

نَفسه ما بَقى لَه باع

And the lovesick lover has sold

Himself; no strength remains to him.

وَالصّبُّ قَد طَاع

وَالصّبُّ قَد طَاع

لَحظك وَهوَ لَه قَطّاع

لَحظك وَهوَ لَه قَطّاع

And the lovesick lover has obeyed

Your glance, though it cuts him down.
