وَلَقَد قالَ طَبيبي

وَلَقَد قالَ طَبيبي

وَطَبيبي ذو اِحتِيَالِ

وَطَبيبي ذو اِحتِيَالِ

And indeed my physician said—

My doctor certainly said,

and my physician is a man of guile—

And my doctor is so clever,

اُشكُ ما شِئتَ سِوى ال

اُشكُ ما شِئتَ سِوى ال

حُبِّ فَإِنّي لا أُبالي

حُبِّ فَإِنّي لا أُبالي

“Complain of whatever you wish, except

Doubt all you wish except for

love, for I do not care.

Love, for I do not care.

سَقَمُ الحُبِّ رَخيصٌ

سَقَمُ الحُبِّ رَخيصٌ

وَدَواءُ الحُبِّ غالِ

وَدَواءُ الحُبِّ غالِ

The sickness of love is cheap,

The illness of love is cheap

and the cure for love is costly.”

And the cure for love, expensive.
