صاحِ إِنَّ المُلامَ في حُبِّ جُملِ

صاحِ إِنَّ المُلامَ في حُبِّ جُملِ

كادَ يَقضي الغَداةَ مِنكَ مَكاني

كادَ يَقضي الغَداةَ مِنكَ مَكاني

Friend, the reproach for my love of Juml

My friend, the blame for loving a camel

from you this morning nearly killed me on the spot.

Almost took my life this morning.

فَاِنظُرِ اليَومَ مَن كُنتَ تَهوى

فَاِنظُرِ اليَومَ مَن كُنتَ تَهوى

فَاِنجُ مِن شانِهِ وَدَعني وَشاني

فَاِنجُ مِن شانِهِ وَدَعني وَشاني

So consider today the one you used to love;

So look today at who you were in love with,

then free yourself of their concerns, and leave me to mine.

And forget about him, leave me be.

فَبِحَسبي أَنّي بِذِكرَةِ هِندٍ

فَبِحَسبي أَنّي بِذِكرَةِ هِندٍ

هائِمُ العَقلِ دائِمُ الأَحزانِ

هائِمُ العَقلِ دائِمُ الأَحزانِ

For it is enough that, at the thought of Hind,

It is enough for me, with the memory of Hind,

I am distraught in mind, forever sorrowful.

Lost in thought, ever sorrowful.

وَإِذا جِئتُها لِأَشكو إِلَيها

وَإِذا جِئتُها لِأَشكو إِلَيها

بَعضَ ما شَفَّني وَما قَد شَجاني

بَعضَ ما شَفَّني وَما قَد شَجاني

And when I came to her to complain to her

And when I come to complain to her

of some of what had wasted me away and what had grieved me,

Of some of my agony and torment,

هِبتُها وَاِزدُهي مِنَ الحُبِّ عَقلي

هِبتُها وَاِزدُهي مِنَ الحُبِّ عَقلي

وَعَصاني بِذاتِ نَفسي لِساني

وَعَصاني بِذاتِ نَفسي لِساني

I was awed by her, and my mind was swept away by love;

I am dazzled by love, losing my reason,

and my tongue refused to speak what lay within my soul.

My tongue disobeying my own will.

وَنَسيتُ الَّذي جَمَعتُ مِنَ القَو

وَنَسيتُ الَّذي جَمَعتُ مِنَ القَو

لِ لَدَيها وَغابَ عَنّي بَياني

لِ لَدَيها وَغابَ عَنّي بَياني

And I forgot the words I had gathered

I forget what carefully crafted words

in her presence, and my eloquence deserted me.

I had prepared for her, losing my eloquence.
