ما كانَ أَغناني عَنِ الحُبِّ

قَد أَحرَقَت نيرانُهُ قَلبي

Nothing could save me from love,

Its fires have burned my heart.

يا مَن تَجَنّى حينَ لَم أَعصِهِ

وَعَدَّ ذَنباً لَيسَ بِالذَنبِ

O you who turned away when I did not disobey,

And counted as sin what was no sin,

إِرضَ بِنَفسي أَنتَ عَنّي فَقَد

قَتَلتَني بِالصَدِّ وَاللِعبِ

Be pleased with me, for you have, because of your rejection and play,

Killed me.
