لَمَّا بَدَا في صُدْغِه خَالُه

لَمَّا بَدَا في صُدْغِه خَالُه

أذابَ قلبَ الصَّبِّ بالْحُبِّ

أذابَ قلبَ الصَّبِّ بالْحُبِّ

When his mole appeared on his temple,

When his beauty mark appeared on his cheek

It melted the lovesick lover's heart with love.

It melted the youngster's heart with love

فانْظُرْ إلى الْحَبِّ على فَخِّه

فانْظُرْ إلى الْحَبِّ على فَخِّه

ولا تَسَلْ عن طائرِ القَلْبِ

ولا تَسَلْ عن طائرِ القَلْبِ

So look at the grain on his snare,

So look at love fallen into its trap

And do not ask about the bird of the heart.

And do not ask about the bird of the heart
