أراك طموح العَينِ ميالَة الهَوى

أراك طموح العَينِ ميالَة الهَوى

لِهذا وَهذا مِنكَ ود ملاطِف

لِهذا وَهذا مِنكَ ود ملاطِف

I see you roving-eyed, fickle in love.

I see you are the desire of my eyes, the inclination of my passion

For this one and that, you have tender affection.

For this one and that one, you have affection and kindness

فان تحملي ردفين لا اك مِنهُما

فان تحملي ردفين لا اك مِنهُما

فَحُبّي فَرد لَست مِمَّن يُرادِف

فَحُبّي فَرد لَست مِمَّن يُرادِف

So if you carry two riders behind you, I shall not be one of them.

If you bear a double burden, I want neither

For my love is undivided; I am not one to ride in tandem.

For my love is absolute, I'm not one who competes
