قلبي عليك غراما في الهوى يجب

روحي فداك فعاملتي بما يجب

My heart has fallen madly in love with you

My soul I sacrifice for you, for you I've done what's proper

حسب الهوى ان لي روحا عليك قضت

وجدا واني لها في الله احتسب

According to love, my soul is devoted to you

With passion, and for it I seek reward from God

يا تاركي باعاريض الهوى مثلا

نقضت حبل الوفا قل لي فما السبب

O you who've abandoned love's principles as an example

You've broken loyalty's rope, tell me what's the cause

علقته لبني الاتراك نسبته

الى معانيه حسنا تنتمي العرب

I tied it to the Turks' lineage, attributed it

To its meanings, beautifully belonging to the Arabs

ظبي اذا ما رنا لحظا وبدر دجى

اذا تبدى وغصن حين ينتسب

A gazelle, when it glanced for a moment, and a full moon when it shone

And a branch when it swayed

انا القتيل به من غير ما سبب

ومن اجل شهودي في الهوى الوصب

I'm the one slain by it without cause

And because of my passion for love, the fervor

وكيف ينكر قتلي سيف مقلته

وخده بدم العشاق مختضب

How can he deny slaying me, his sword blade

With his cheek stained by the blood of lovers

ساق بمجلسه اللذات قد كملت

تجانس الحسن في معناه والادب

He brought enjoyments to his gathering, made complete

Beauty's harmony in its meaning and propriety

فالورد وجنته والخمر ريقته

وكأس فيه عقيق دره الحبب

So the roses and their blossoms, the wine its draft

And a cup with ruby juice as the seeds' beloved

بديرها قهوة بكراً معتقة

في الكاس قد حدثت عن عصرها الحقب

At her monastery, pure, early-harvested coffee

In the cup, it tells of the era of its harvest

تولدت من دم العنقود نشأتها

فالكرم ام وماء المعصرات اب

Born from vine's blood, it originated

So the vine's the mother, and the press's water, the father

صفراء تشرق شمسا من مطالعها

سماؤها الكأس فيه تطلع الشهب

Golden, she rises like a sun in her horizons

Her sky is the cup, in it rise the embers

عذراء لو مسها بالماء لامسها

لكاد يحرقه من نورها اللهب

A virgin, if she's touched by water, it touches her

Its light almost burns it with flames

فاستجلها من فم الابريق مشرقة

فمن معادنه يستخرخ الذهب

So draw her from the jug's mouth radiant

For from its essence is mined the gold
