أُمَّ سَلّامٍ أَيِثبي عاشِقاً

يَعلَمُ اللَهُ يَقيناً رَبُّهُ

O mother of Salam, I have fallen in love

God knows for certain that you are his Lord

أَنَّكُم مِن عَيشِهِ في نَفسِهِ

يا سُلَيمى فَاِعلَميهِ حَسبُهُ

That you are his life and soul

O Suleima, let him know this is enough

فَاِرحَميهِ إِنَّهُ يَهذي بِكُم

هائِمٌ صَبُّ قَدَ اودى قَلبُهُ

So have mercy on him, for he raves about you

Infatuated, pouring out, his heart consumed

أَنتِ لَو كُنتِ لَهُ راحِمَةً

لَم يكَدِّر يا سُلَيمى شِربُهُ

If you were kind to him

Suleima, his drinking would not be bitter
