فَدَيتُكَ قَد جُبِلتُ عَلى هَواكا

فَنَفسي لا تُنازِعُني سِواكا

May I be your ransom, for I was molded to love you,

And my soul contends with me for none but you.

فَلَيتَ الناسَ أُعموا عَنكَ غَيري

فَآمَنَ أَن يَرَوكَ كَما أَراكا

Would that all people were blinded to you, save for me,

That I might be safe from them seeing you as I do.

وَلَيتَكَ كُلَّما كَلَّمتَ غَيري

رُميتَ بِخَرسِهِ وَمَنَعتَ فاكا

And would that whenever you spoke to another,

You were struck mute, and your mouth restrained.

أُحِبُّكَ لا بِبَعضي بَل بِكُلّي

وَإِن لَم يُبقِ حُبُّكَ بي حَراكا

I love you not with a part of me, but with my whole being,

Even if your love has left no movement within me.

وَيَسمَجُ مَن سِواكَ الشَيءُ عِندي

فَتَفعَلُهُ فَيَحسُنُ مِنكَ ذاكا

An act seems ugly to me when coming from anyone else,

Yet when you perform it, from you it becomes beautiful.
