سلمى بعيشك واصلي

هذا المحب وجاملي

Salma, live in peace, and keep praying,

This loving one, treat him kindly,

ما لي وحقك سلوة

أهواك رغم العاذل

I have no right to console myself,

I love you despite those who blame me,

ساءلت قلبي في الهوى

عما يراه فسائلي

I asked my heart about this love,

About what it sees, so ask me,

قالوا غرامك قاتل

مرحى لحبّي القاتل

They said your love is deadly,

Yet my deadly love is joyful,

لك باذلٌ نفسي فهل

ترضيك نفس الباذل

I'm ready to sacrifice myself, so will

The soul of the sacrificer satisfy you?

تسبيحتي في خلوتي

سلمى بعيشك واصلي

My prayers in solitude are:

Salma, live in peace, and keep praying.
