جدت وأفحمتني بما قد

جدت وأفحمتني بما قد

سمعت من لفظك الموَاتي

سمعت من لفظك الموَاتي

You were generous and left me speechless with what I have

I found you, and confounded me with what

heard from your pleasing words.

I heard from your deadly words,

فاقبله ذا سكر بياض

فاقبله ذا سكر بياض

إن عجز السكر النباتي

إن عجز السكر النباتي

So accept it, bearing the sugar of whiteness,

So accept this with the intoxication of whiteness,

if the rock candy falls short.

Though the intoxication of plants is weak.
