يا مَن بِمُقلَتِهِ العُقارُ
وَبِوَجنَتَيهِ الجُلَّنارُ
O you whose eyelashes hold kohl
O you who carries wine within your glance,
And whose cheeks hold rouge
And upon whose cheeks blooms the pomegranate flower,
ماذا الصُدودُ مَتى فَطِن
تُ لَهُ لَكَ الرَحمَنُ جارُ
When will you realize
Why this aversion? When did I first...
That the Most Merciful is your neighbor?
...perceive it? May the Merciful be your protector.
أَمّا الفُؤادُ فَفيهِ مُذ
فُطِّنتُ لِلهِجرانِ نارُ
As for my heart, ever since
As for my heart, within it—ever since...
I was alerted to your estrangement, there is a fire
...I awoke to this abandonment—is a fire.
لَم يَنتَهِ الحُسّادُ حَت
تى شَطَّ بي عَنكِ المَزارُ
The enviers did not stop
The envious ones did not desist until...
Until the pilgrimage pulled me away from you
...the distance kept me far from where you are.
