لَم أَدرِ وَما اِستَقَرَّ في مَركَزِهِ

لَم أَدرِ وَما اِستَقَرَّ في مَركَزِهِ

قَلبٌ عَلِقت بِهِ يَدا مُحرِزِهِ

قَلبٌ عَلِقت بِهِ يَدا مُحرِزِهِ

I do not know—and in its center has not settled

I could not tell where the heart that my hands protected

A heart to which its possessor's two hands have clung—

Had settled in its place,

في حَيِّز قَلبيَ الَّذي يَملكُهُ

في حَيِّز قَلبيَ الَّذي يَملكُهُ

أَم قَلبي عنده وَفي حَيِّزِهِ

أَم قَلبي عنده وَفي حَيِّزِهِ

Whether he is within my heart's domain, which he owns,

Whether it was in the space my heart possessed

Or my heart is with him and within his domain.

Or my heart was with it, and in its place.
