دُموعي فيكَ لا تَرقا

وَداءُ القَلبِ لا يُرقى

My tears in you do not melt,

And the heart's disease cannot be cured,

وَمَحلُ الخَدِّ مِن غَي

رِ مَسيلِ الدَمعِ لا يُسقى

And the cheek's place from the absence of

The tears' flow cannot be watered,

دُموعٌ تُعطِشُ الخَد

دَ وَأَجفاني بِها غَرقى

Tears that thirst the cheek,

And with them my eyelids have drowned,

أَلا يا مالِكَ الرِق

قِ بِمَن مَلَّكَكَ الرِقّا

Oh you who own tenderness, by whom has tenderness owned you

If you do not decide I become happy, do not decide I become miserable,

إِذا لَم تَقضِ أَن أَسعَ

دَ لا تَقضِ بِأَن أَشقى

Be charitable with what perishes,

And take the reward of what remains,

تَصَدَّق بِالَّذي يَفنى

وَخُذ أَجرَ الَّذي يَبقى

And remind your gentle side,

And reciprocate with what I have given,

وَذَكِّر عِطفَكَ المَيّا

لَ وَالرَدفَ بِما أَلقى

He who fears will remember,

And the miserable will avoid it.

سَيَذَّكَّرُ مَن يَخشى

وَيَتَجَنَّبُها الأَشقى
