في القلب موضعْ للحبيب

إن غابْ عنه أو حضرْ

In my heart there's a place for my beloved

If he's absent or present

والغير ماله نصيبْ

ولا المليكِ في الحشرْ

Others have no share

Not even the king on judgement day

دعني وإِن طالْ المغِيبْ

نحفظْ وداده كيف أمرْ

Let me be though his absence is long

We'll keep his love as he wished

كيف لا نكون عبدْ مطيعْ

قليبي حصل له في الشركْ

How can we not be obedient slaves

My heart is his partner

دعه يحرر أو يبيعْ

مَنْ يمنعه فيما ملكْ

Leave it to free or sell itself

Who can stop it from what it owns
