إِن قَلبي كَليم نَجواكَ سرّاً

وَلِساني رَطب بِذِكراكَ مغرى

My heart whispers your name secretly

And my tongue is wet with the mention of you

غِبتُ حَتّى عَنى بِذكرك سُكراً

لا لِأَني أَنساكَ أَكثَر ذِكرا

I was absent to the point of drunkenness with your memory

Not because I forgot you more by frequent mention

ك وَلَكن بِذاكَ يَجري لِساني

لاعتِناق الروحين ما ثُم هَجر

But my tongue flows with that

Except embracing the two souls - there is no estrangement

غَير أَن العَيان أَمر يَسر

لَيسَ يَخفي عَني جَمالك سَتر

Except that seeing you in person is easier

Your beauty is not hidden from me by any veil

أَنتَ في القَلب وَالجَوانح وَالرو

ح وَأَنتَ المُنى وَأَنتَ الأَماني

You are in my heart and my wings and my soul

You are my wish and you are my desires

وَصَفوا لي السَلوَّ جَهلاً وَسَموا

فَرَأوني أَزدادُ شَوقاً فَوَلوا

They described solace to me in ignorance and named

Me increasingly longing so they turned away

لَم أَقُل لَيتَني أَراكَ وَلا لَو

كُل عَضو مِني يَراكَ مِن الشَو

I did not say "if only I could see you" or "if only I could"

Every limb of me sees you from longing

ق بِعَين غَنية عَن عَيان

With an eye that needs no vision
