وَلَقَد لَقيتَ عَلى الدُريجَةِ لَيلَةً

كانَت عَليكَ أَيامِنًا وَسُعودا

You met me one night on the pathway

When you were still mine and joyful.

لا تَغدرَنَّ بِوَصلِ عَزَّةَ بَعدَما

أَخَذَت عَلَيكَ مواثِقًا وَعُهودا

Do not betray the love of Aziza after

You made pledges and promises to me.

إِنَّ المُحِبَّ إِذا أَحَبَّ حَبيبَهُ

صَدَقَ الصَفاءَ وَأَنجَزَ الموعودا

When a lover loves his beloved,

He is sincere and fulfills his vows.

الله يَعلَمُ لو أَرَدتُ زِيادَةً

في حُبِّ عَزَّةَ ما وَجَدتُ مَزيدا

God knows, if I wanted more

Love for Aziza, I'd find no more.

رُهبانُ مَديَنَ وَالَّذينَ عَهِدتُهُم

يَبكونَ مِن حَذَرِ العَذابِ قُعودا

The monks of Medina, whom I knew

Stay seated fearing torment.

لو يَسمَعونَ كَما سَمِعتُ كَلامَها

خَرُّوا لِعَزَّةَ رُكَّعًا وَسُجودا

If they heard her words like I did

They'd bow down to Aziza, kneeling in prayer.

وَالمَيتُ يُنشَرُ أَن تَمَسَّ عِظامَهُ

مَسًّا وَيَخلُدُ أَن يِرَاكِ خُلودا

And a dead man would spread his bones

To be touched, and live forever to see you.
