لا وَعَينَيكَ وَالجَبين المُفَدّى

ما تَعَوّدت مِن جَمالِكَ صَدّا

No, and your eyes and your ransomed forehead,

I have never become accustomed to your beauty turning away.

وَلَكَ اللَهُ أَحَل عَنكَ يَوماً

لا وَلا خُنتَ في الهَوى لَكَ عَهدا

And may God excuse you one day,

No, and you have never betrayed your oath of love.

وَغَرامي الَّذي عَهدت غَرامي

وَفُؤادي لَم يَبغِ عَنكَ مَرَدّا

And my passion which I am passionate about,

And my heart that did not want to turn away from you.

لا رَعى اللَهُ واشِيا قَد سَعى بي

وَتَعنى لِشَقوَتي وَتَصَدّى

No, God protect the jealous one who strove against me

And intended my misery and opposed me.

بِالَّذي بَينَنا وَبَينَك لا نُص

غِ لِواش فَقَد بَغى وَتَعَدّى

By what is between us and you we will not be frustrated,

If the jealous one has transgressed and overstepped.

اِن تَرد بي عُقوبَه فَبلحظَي

كَ اِقتَصص يا غَزال صَفحا وَحَدّا

If you want to punish me, with my glance,

Take revenge, O gazelle, with forgiveness and mercy.

أنا ياق عَلى هَواك وَمن لي

أَن تَراني يا سَيِّدي لَك عَبدا

I, o my love for you, and who do I have

That you see me, my master, as a servant to you.

قَد فَضَحت الغُصون لينا وَقَدّي

ت فَؤادي مِن اِعتِدا لَك قَدّا

The branches have exposed me gently, and my heart,

From passion for you, has molded and adapted.

كُن عَلى ما تُريد وَصَلا وَهَجرا

وَدنوّا اِن شِئت مُنى وَبعدا

Be however you want, union and separation,

And come near if you wish, intimacy and distance.

فَأَنا المُغرم الصَبور عَلى ما

نابَني في هَواكَ سَهوا وَعَمدا

So I am the passionate, patient with what

Befalls me in my love for you, intentionally and inadvertently.

فيكَ أَبدَلت عِفَّتي بِاِفتِضاح

وَاِفتِقار وَلَم أَجِد مِنكَ بَدّا

For you I have replaced my chastity with disgrace,

And poverty, and I cannot find any alternative to you.

يا حَبيبي بِاللَهِ عَطفا عَلى شَي

خ غَرام قَد هَدّه الوَجد هَدّا

O my beloved, for God's sake, have compassion for a

Passionate shaykh whom passion has guided and destroyed.

عاشَ دَهرا وَلَم يَمل فيكَ يَوما

لِسُلُوّ وَفي الهَوى ماتَ صَدّا

He lived an age and never tired of you one day,

Because of night chat, and in love he died opposing.

يا مُرادي بِاللَهِ أَعرَضت عَن عَب

دِكَ هُزلا أَم أَنتَ أَعرَضت جَدّا

O my wish, by God, have you turned away from your

Servant jokingly or have you turned away seriously?

حَسبُكَ اللَهُ يا ظَلوم لَقَد أَش

مت بي حَسدا عَلَيكَ وَأَعدا

May God be sufficient for you, O unjust one, indeed you have

Envied me about you and prepared against me.

كُلَّما مَرّ عاذَلي وَرَأى أَض

لع جِسمي تَعَدّ ناح وَعَدّا

Whenever a blamer passed me and saw my

Emaciated body, he counted ribs and prepared to attack me.

لَم أَكُن أَجب الهَوى فيكَ يَبدى

لِلاِعادي ما من نحولي أَبدى

I did not confess love for you to the enemy to appear

Nor did I fear that you would twist, O my demise, my heart intentionally.

لا وَلا كُنت اِختَشى مِنكَ اِن تَئ

لف يا مُنيَتي فُؤادي قَصدا

And to this day, my opinion of you has not waned,

No, and your eyes and your ransomed forehead.

وَاِلى الآن لَم يَخِب فيكَ ظَنّي

لا وَعَينَيكَ وَالجَبين المُفَدّى
