Claude 2

  1. صِل قاصِداً قَد أَمَّ لك

    إِذ لَم تَجِد فَتى حُر

    Come purposefully, as fate has come to serve you,

    Since you did not find a free man,

  2. فَأَنتَ عِقدٌ مُثمَنُ

    لَم تَفتَقِر لواسطة

    So you are a precious jewel,

    You did not need a mediator.

  3. وَأَنتَ شكل حسنُ

    وَالجودُ فيك ضابطة

    And you are a beautiful figure,

    And generosity in you is inherent.

  4. فَلا تَقُل يا مُحسِنُ

    هَذا الثنا مغالطة

    So do not say, O benefactor,

    This praise is an exaggeration.

  5. فالوَصف لَن يمثلك

    لكل صَبّ يَشعُر

    For the description will not represent you,

    Every young man feels,

  6. بِالطَيف قَد وَعَدتَني

    كَيفَ وَطَرفي ما هَجَع

    The phantom you promised me,

    How, while my eyes did not sleep,

  7. وَسارَ مُذ فارَقتَني

    وَراكَ قَلبي فاِنقطَع

    And it left since you left me,

    And after you my heart broke off.

  8. فاِرحَمهُ فَهوَ قَد فَني

    واِنظُر له فيما صَنَع

    So have mercy on it, for it is exhausted,

    And look after it for what it made.

  9. فَإِنَّه فيك هلَك

    وَمَسَّهُ منك الضُر

    For through you it perished,

    And was touched by your harm.

  10. جُنِنتُ مِن يَوم النوى

    فاِرحَم سلمتَ مَصرَعي

    I went mad from the day of passion,

    So have mercy, you who completed my death,

  11. وَبانَ مَكتومُ الهَوى

    مذ بَلَّ جَيبي مَدمَعي

    And the hidden love manifested,

    Since the tear wet my pocket,

  12. وَلَيسَ لي عَيشٌ سِوى

    إِن مَرَّ مَحبوبي مَعي

    And I have no life,

    Unless my beloved passes by me.

  13. يا قَمَري قَلبي فَلَك

    سِر فيهِ فَهوَ قَد سُر

    O my moon, my heart is yours,

    Travel in it, for it is fascinated.

  14. واِطوِ مَسافَة السفر

    يا بَدرُ أَنعِم بِاللقا

    And cover the distance of the journey,

    O full moon, bestow the meeting generously,

  15. وَاِعدِل إِلي يا قَمَر

    وَفيَّ إِنّي في شقا

    And come to me, O moon.

    And grant me, for I am in misery,

  16. وَقُلتُ لما أَن خطَر

    بِاللَه يا غُصنَ النَقا

    And I said when it occurred

    to me, by Allah O branch of softness,

  17. سُبحان رَبٍّ عَدَّلَك

    قِف لي قَليلاً اِنظُر

    Glory be to the Lord who perfected you.

    Stop for me for a while, look

  18. وَشادنٍ من الخَطا

    يَقتلُني بِالعَمدِ

    And beware of mistakes.

    It kills me intentionally,

  19. زارَ فقلت إِذ سَطا

    بِصارِم كالهندي

    With an Indian sword.

    Come and make a condition,

  20. واصِل وَكُن مشترطاً

    ما شئت فَهوَ عِندي

    Whatever you want is mine.

    He said give me gold and pearls for you,

  21. قالَ هات ذَهَب وَدورُ لَك

    فَقُلتُ لَو تَخشى در

    So I said, if you fear harm...
