في الشفاهِ اللُّعسِ ما يشفي الألمْ

ودوا القلبِ فمٌ من فوقِ فمْ

In dry lips lies relief from pain

And remedy for the heart, a mouth above a mouth

عقدَ الحبُّ شروطاً بيننا

وفمي أمضى عليها وختمْ

Love has bound us to conditions

And my mouth agreed and signed

وأرى ذا الحبَّ سرّاً فالشفا

هُ على كتمانهِ تعطي القسمْ

And I see this love as a secret, so healing

Is in keeping it, I take an oath

بأبي هذا الجمالَ وأبي

لم يلدني لسواهُ لم ولمْ

By the beauty of my father, and my father

Did not give birth to me for any other, no, no

يا أميرَ الحُسنِ ما تأمرنا

كلُّنا في دَولَةِ الحُسنِ خَدَمْ

Oh prince of beauty, command us

We are all servants in the state of beauty

أترى كوِّنت من كلِّ دمٍ

فلذا حنَّ إليكَ كلُّ دمْ

Do you see I was made from every blood

So every blood yearns for you

ولمَ الصدُّ أما آنَ لما

شتّتَ الهجرانُ مني أن يُلَمْ

Why the aloofness, is it not time for what

Separation has scattered from me to be gathered

نحمدُ اللهَ فإنَّ الشمسَ لو

فعلتْ فعلكَ عشنا في ظُلَمْ

We praise Allah, for if the sun

Did as you do, we would live in darkness
