لِكُلِّ فُؤَادٍ مِن هَوَاكَ نَصِيبُ

فَأَنت إلى كُلِّ القُلُوبِ حَبِيبُ

Each heart has a share of love for you,

So to all hearts, you are the beloved.

تَوَارَدَتِ العُشَّاقُ فِيكَ فَكُلُهُمْ

بِكلِّكَ مَسْلُوبُ الفُؤَادِ كَئِيبُ

The lovers flock to you, and all of them

Are enamored with you, their hearts captive and woeful.

وَلكنّني فُقْتُ الجَميعَ صَبَابَةً

فَلَمْ يَكُ لي في العَاشقينَ ضَرِيبُ

But I surpassed them all in passion,

So I had no rival among the lovers.

وَمَا حَدَّثَتْني النَّفْسُ عنكَ بِسَلْوَةٍ

كَأَنَّ الهَوَى مِنّي عَلَيَّ رَقِيبُ

My soul did not speak to me gently of you,

As if passion itself kept watch over me.

تُمثلِّكَ الذِّكْرَى لِقَلْبي وَنَاظِرِي

فأَغْدُو وَكُلِّي أَعْيُنٌ وَقُلُوبُ

Remembrance portrays you to my heart and eyes,

So I rise with eyes and hearts fixed on you.

غَدا السَّلْمُ مابَيْنَ الغَرَامِ ومُهجْتي

وَبَيْنَ جُفُوني والمَنامِ حُرُوبُ

Peace has come between love and my madness,

And between my eyelids and sleep, there is war.
