قال سلطانُ حبّه

قال سلطانُ حبّه

أنا لا أقبلُ الرشا

أنا لا أقبلُ الرشا

The sovereign of his love said:

The sultan of love has said

“I do not accept bribes.”

I do not accept bribes

فسلوه فَدَيتُه

فسلوه فَدَيتُه

لِم بقتلي تَحَرَّشا

لِم بقتلي تَحَرَّشا

So ask him—may I be his ransom—

Ask him, for whose sake I'd sacrifice myself

why he has sought to kill me.

Why does he yearn to kill me
