رَقدتَ ولم تَرثِ لِلساهرِ

وليلُ المُحبِّ بِلا آخِرِ

You slept and left no inheritance for the wakeful one

And the night of lovers has no end

ولم تَدرِ بَعدَ ذهابِ الرُّقا

دِ ما فعلَ الدمعُ بالناظرِ

And you still don't know after the departure of slumber

What the teardrops did to the beholder

فيا من تملَّكني حبُّهُ

أجِرني من طرفكَ الساحرِ

So you who your love has possessed me

Save me from your enchanting glance

وخُذ للفؤادِ فداكَ الفؤادُ

من طرفِكَ الفاتنِ الفاترِ

And take my heart in ransom for your heart

From your languid, alluring glance
