حَلَّت بِقَلبي وَثَوَت

شَمسٌ لَها البدر حَسَد

A sun has set in my heart and camped there

A moon, for her the full moon is envious

حَرُّ هَواها لم يَزَل

يُضني الفؤادَ والجَسد

The heat of her love does not cease

It makes the heart and body suffer

لا تعجَبوا من حَرِّه

فالشَمسُ في قَلب الأَسَد

Be not astonished at its heat

For the sun is in the heart of the lion
