عَجيب أَنتَ يا قَلبي فَكَم ذا

يَهيب بِكَ الجَماك وَتَستَجيب

Strange is my heart, for how much does

The beautiful one call it, and it responds

يَظَل بِكَ الهَوى فَرَحاً وَتَبكي

فَتَشرب مِن مَدامعك القُلوب

Love remains in it happily, and it weeps

So it drinks from its tears the hearts

تَرود بِكَ الصَبابة كُل يَوم

مجاهل كل آهلها غَريب

It roams with youth everyday

Unaware, while its people are strangers

وَجَنَ بِكَ الهَوى فَهُنا غَرير

عَلقت بِهِ وَمِن هُنّا حَبيب

And it fell in love here, so it is murmuring

I held on to it, and from here is the beloved

وَتِلكَ وَفي مَعاصمها سِوار

وَذاكَ في تَرائِبِهِ صَليب

And that one has bracelets on her wrists

And the other has a cross on his neck

يَرف عَلَيهِ مِن بَظَر وَنَعمى

مَعالم كُلَها أَرَج وَطيب

Youthfulness and bliss pour over him

All its features pleasant and good

وَفي عَينيهِ مُستَذرى وَمَأوى

لِروحي وَهِيَ هائِمَة حَريب

And in his eyes a refuge and shelter

For my wandering, confused soul

أَصد بِفعل سِحرَهما اللَيالي

فَيَمنَع جانِبي السحر الرَهيب

I block with their magic the nights

So the terrible magic prevents my side

وَبَينَ يَديهِ يَنبوع وَعِندي

كُؤوس هَوى وَفي شَفَتَيهِ كُوب

And in front of him a spring, and I have

Cups of love, and on his lips a kiss

تَفرعني الهَوى فَلِكُل عَين

تَمُر عَلَيّ في الدُنيا نَصيب

Love has branched me, so for every eye

That passes me in life there is a share
