عَشِقَت مَن لا أُلام فيهِ وَلا

عَشِقَت مَن لا أُلام فيهِ وَلا

I fell in love with one who has no blame in him

am I accused of error in loving him.

Nor do I attribute any wrong in loving him

لِأَنَّني ما تَرَكتُ قَطَّ يَدي

لِأَنَّني ما تَرَكتُ قَطَّ يَدي

مُذ كُنتُ طِفلاً إِلّا عَلى النُقَطِ

مُذ كُنتُ طِفلاً إِلّا عَلى النُقَطِ

since I was a child, except upon the dots.

Removed my hand except from the dots
