الوردُ على خدِّكَ مَنْ أَنبته

والمسكُ على وردكَ مَنْ فتته

The rose on your cheek - who planted it there?

The musk on your rose - who ground it so fair?

والقلبُ على نأيك من ثبته

أَجمع شملاً هواك قد شتته

The heart on your absence - who made it remain?

United in loving you - though love rends it in twain
