قد سلبت الفؤاد منها اختلاساً

أي خلقٍ يعيش دون فؤاد

You have stolen my heart stealthily

You have stolen her heart away by stealth,

What creature can live without a heart?

and what creature can live without a heart?

فأغثها بالوصل تحيى شريفاً

وتفز بالثواب يوم المعاد

So restore her to life through union, noble one,

So succor her with union, that you may live with honor,

And rejoice in reward on the Day of Return.

and win the great reward on the Day of Return.

وأراها تعتاض إن دام هذا

من خلاخيلها حلي الأقياد

And I see her wearing, if this continues,

For I see that if this persists, she will exchange

The anklets of those in shackles as jewelry.

her shining anklets for the adornment of fetters.

أنت حقّاً متيم الشمس حتى

عشقها بين ذا الورى لك بادي

You are truly the one enamored with the sun, so much

You are truly enamored of the sun, so much that

That your love for it is evident among all people.

your love for her has become manifest to all mankind.
