قالوا أدر ذكر الحبي

ب مدامة ودع الحميا

They said, remember your loved one

with wine and leave aside bashfulness

وبمهجتي من لا أبي

ن غرامه ما دمت حيا

And in my heart is one whom I do not wish

to reveal his love as long as I live

لا لا أبوح بحب بث

نة إنها اخذت عليّ

No, no I will not confess a hidden love

for it has taken a pledge from me

ولقد دعوت وإنما

أسمعت لو ناديت حيا

And though I called out, if only

I had heard a response, if called to life
