عُلِّقتُ مَن عُلِّقَني

فَكُلُّنا مُتَّفِقُ

I hung who hung me

I am attached to one attached to me,

We're all in agreement

And thus, in all things, we agree.

إِن غابَ لَم أَظنُن بِهِ

وَهوَ بِغَيبي يَثِقُ

If he's absent, I don't doubt him

If he is absent, I harbor no doubt of him,

He trusts me when I'm away

And he, in my absence, places his trust.

لَو شِئتُ أَن يُلثِمَني

فاهُ وَحَولي حِلَقُ

If I wanted him to kiss me

If I desired that he should press his mouth

His mouth and my neck bare

To mine, though crowds stood round in rings,

لَقامَ لا يَمنَعُهُ

مِمّا أَشاءُ الحَدَقُ

He would stand, nothing preventing

He would rise up, and nothing could deter him

Me getting what I want

From what I wish—not even staring eyes.
