إِذَا مَاسَ مَنْ يَهْوَاكَ تِيهاً فَلاَ عُتْبُ
وَمَنْ ذَا يَرَى ذَاكَ الجَمَالَ فَلاَ يَصْبُو
When one who loves you sways in pride, there is no blame.
And who can behold that beauty and not yearn?
ومَنْ ذا الَّذي يُسْقَى بِذِكْرِكَ قَهْوَةً
وَلاَ يَنْثَنِي تِيهاً وَيَزْهُو بِهِ العُجْبُ
And who is served wine through remembrance of you,
And does not sway in pride, elated by self-admiration?
سَبَيْتَ الوَرَى حُسْناً وَأَنْتَ مُحَجَّبٌ
فَكَيْفَ بِمَنْ يَهْوَاكَ إِنْ زَالَتِ الحُجْبُ
You have taken all creation captive with beauty, though you are veiled.
Then what of one who loves you, if the veils fall away?
وَأَصْبَحْتَ مَعْشُوقَ القُلُوبِ بِأَسْرِهَا
وَمَاذَرَّةٌ فِي الكَوْنِ إِلاَّ لَهَا قَلْبُ
And you have become the beloved of all hearts,
And no atom in the universe is without a heart.
إِذَا سَكِرَ العُشَّاقُ كُنْتَ نَدِيمَهُمْ
وأنتَ لَهُمْ سَاقٍ وَأَنْتَ لَهُمْ شُرْبُ
When the lovers grow drunk, you are their drinking companion;
And you are their cupbearer, and you are their drink.
وَإِنْ زَمْزَمَ الحَادِي وَمَالُوا صَبَابَةً
فَلَيْسَ لَهُمْ قَصْدٌ سِوَاكَ وَلا أَرْبُ
And if the camel-driver chants and they sway with longing,
Then they have no aim or desire but you.
وَلِمْ لاَ يَذْوبُ العَاشِقُونَ صَبَابَةً
وَوَجْداً وسُلْطَانُ المِلاَحِ لَهُمْ حِبُّ
And why should lovers not melt with longing
And rapture, when the sovereign of the beautiful is their beloved?
