خليلي حب الشركسية شفني

ولم يبق مني غير حبر على ورق
My two friends, love for the Circassian woman has worn me thin.
My friend, the Circassian stole my heart away
And nothing remains of me but ink on paper.
And naught remains of me but ink upon the page
ولمand did not يبقremain منيof me غيرexcept رسمan image ترونهyou see it
ولم يبق مني غير رسم ترونه
وقلباًand a heart لغيرfor anyone other than الشركسيةthe Circassian woman ماnever خفقbeat
وقلباً لغير الشركسية ما خفق
And nothing remains of me but an image you see,
Naught left but ghostly semblance you behold
And a heart that never beat for anyone but the Circassian woman.
A heart for none but her has ceased to beat
