قَلبي بِخاتَمِ حُبِّكُم مَختومُ

ما في هَواكَ لَهُ الغَداةُ قَسيمُ

My heart is sealed with the ring of your love,

My heart is sealed with the seal of your love,

No one else shares your love in the mornings.

In your passion, it has no partner this day,

أَخَذَت مَوَدَّتُكُم هَواهُ بِقَدرِهِ

قَلباً بِهِ أَمَداً عَلَيكَ مُقيمُ

Your affection has captivated it entirely,

Your affection has seized its desire in full measure,

A heart that is always longing for you.

A heart that remains eternally steadfast for you.

مَن كانَ أُعطِيَ مِنكَ قَبلِيَ حَظَّهُ

مِمَّن أَحَبَّ فَإِنَّني مَحرومُ

Whoever was given their share of you before me,

Whoever was granted their portion of you before me,

I am deprived though I love you more.

From among those who loved—indeed, I am deprived,

يا لَيتَ حَظِّيَ حينَ تَجتَهِدُ المُنى

مِن نَيلِكَ الإيماءُ وَالتَسليمُ

Oh how I wish when destinies are apportioned,

Oh, would that my share, when hopes strive their utmost,

I get a greeting or wave from you.

From your bounty, be but a nod and a greeting.
