Bid farewell to the heart within you, O my slayer,
Leave my heart to torment in you,
O phantom of the joy-bringing visitor.
O fleeting image of my joyous visitor,
إنindeed روحيmy soul بالعذابِby torment اصطلتْhas been scorched
إن روحي بالعذابِ اصطلتْ
وعلىand of البُرْءِhealing لستَyou are not بالقادرcapable
وعلى البُرْءِ لستَ بالقادر
Indeed, my soul has been scorched by torment,
For my soul is accustomed to anguish,
And you have no power to heal.
And you cannot heal what you have marred.
وسروريand my joy بالهوىin love لمحةٌa fleeting glimpse
وسروري بالهوى لمحةٌ
مثلlike زهرblossoms الورقthe foliage الزاهرradiant
مثل زهر الورق الزاهر
And my joy in love is a fleeting glimpse,
My happiness in love is but a flash,
Like the blossoms of radiant foliage.
Like the blooming of ephemeral flowers.
