مالي وللشعر أبقيه لطالبه

مالي وللشعر أبقيه لطالبه

وصيري حصتي في مرسل الشعر

وصيري حصتي في مرسل الشعر

What have I to do with poetry? I leave it to whoever seeks it.

I have no care for poetry, I leave it for those who desire it

And be my share of flowing locks.

And let my share in poetry's message fade

إني أحبك حباً لا اتصال له

إني أحبك حباً لا اتصال له

بعلة أنت في قلبي وفي فكري

بعلة أنت في قلبي وفي فكري

I love you with a love that has no connection

Indeed I love you with a love that knows no cause

to any cause; you are in my heart and in my thoughts.

For you are in my heart and in my thoughts

سعى بحبك لي في أصله قدر

سعى بحبك لي في أصله قدر

فأنت في قدري والحب في قدري

فأنت في قدري والحب في قدري

From the outset, fate worked to bring me love for you.

Fate strove that I should love you from the start

So you are in my destiny, and love is in my destiny.

So you are in my fate and love is in my fate
