ظهر الهوى وتهنكت أستاره

ظهر الهوى وتهنكت أستاره

والحب خير سبيله إظهاره

والحب خير سبيله إظهاره

Love has appeared, and its veils have been torn away.

Love has appeared and its veils have been lifted,

And love’s best course is to reveal it.

And the best way to reveal love is through love.

أعصي العواذل في هواه جهارة

أعصي العواذل في هواه جهارة

فألذ عيش المستهام جهاره

فألذ عيش المستهام جهاره

I openly defy the reproaching women in my love for him.

I disobey the critics openly in my love,

For the love-stricken, the sweetest life is one lived openly.

For the most delightful life is to love openly.
