وَلي فُؤادٌ إِذا طالَ العَذابُ بِهِ

وَلي فُؤادٌ إِذا طالَ العَذابُ بِهِ

هامَ اِشتِياقاً إِلى لُقيا مُعَذِّبِهِ

هامَ اِشتِياقاً إِلى لُقيا مُعَذِّبِهِ

And I have a heart that, when torment wears long upon it,

goes mad with yearning to meet the one who torments it.

يَفديكَ بِالنَفسِ صَبٌّ لَو يَكونُ لَهُ

يَفديكَ بِالنَفسِ صَبٌّ لَو يَكونُ لَهُ

أَعَزُّ مِن نَفسِهِ شَيءٌ فَداكَ بِهِ

أَعَزُّ مِن نَفسِهِ شَيءٌ فَداكَ بِهِ

A lovesick lover would ransom you with his very life; if he had

anything dearer than himself, he would ransom you with it.
