1. وَاصَلُونِي بَعْدَ بُعْدِي

    وَرَعُوا سَالِفَ عَهْدِي

    They reunited with me after my separation,

    And honored my covenant of old.

  2. وَعلَى رَغْمِ الحَسُودِِ

    أَنْجَزُوا بِالوَصْلِ وَعْدِي

    And despite the envious one,

    They fulfilled their promise to me with reunion.

  3. يَا سُرُوري بالَّتدَاني

    يَا هَنَا حَظِّي وَسَعْدِي

    Oh, my joy at drawing near!

    Oh, the bliss of my lot and good fortune!

  4. جَادَ لِي بَدْرِي بِوَصْلِ

    يا هَنَائِي نِلْتُ قَصْدِي

    My full moon generously granted me union;

    Oh, my joy! I have attained my desire.

  5. فَاجْتَمِعْ يَا مَاءَ عَيْني

    وانْطَفِي يَا نَارَ وَجْدِي

    Gather, then, O water of my eye,

    And be quenched, O fire of my longing.

  6. أَنَا فِي لَيْلَةِ أُنْسِي

    قَدْ صَفَا مَوْرِدُ وِرْدِي

    I am in my night of intimacy;

    The spring I drink from has now grown clear.

  7. وَتَناولْتُ كُؤُوسي

    بَين رَيْحَانٍ وَوَرْدِ

    And I took up my cups

    Amid basil and roses,

  8. مِنْ يَدَيْ حُلْوِ التثَنيِّ

    فَاتِنٍ أَهْيَفِ قَدِّ

    From the hands of one sweetly swaying,

    Enchanting, slender of figure.

  9. تَارَةً يُنْشِدُ خُذْ كَاسِي

    وَطَوْراً هَاكَ خَدِّي

    At times he chants, 'Take my cup,'

    And at others, 'Here, take my cheek.'

  10. إِنْ أَقُلْ يَا أَلْفَ مَوْلَى

    قَالَ لِي يَا أَلْفَ عَبْدِي

    If I say, 'O master a thousand times over,'

    He says to me, 'O slave of mine a thousand times over.'

  11. أَوْ سَقَى المَمْزُوجَ غَيْرِي

    خَصَّنِي بالصِّرْفِ وَحْدِي

    Or if he serves mixed wine to another,

    He favors me alone with wine unmixed.

  12. في هَوَاهُ دَعْ مَلاَمِي

    وَاطْرِحْ غَييِّ وَرُشْدِي

    Cease reproaching me for loving him,

    And cast aside my error and my right judgment.

  13. نَارُ وَجْدي في هَوَاهُ

    كَنَعِيمِ الخُلدِ عِنْدِي

    The fire of my longing, in my love for him,

    Is to me like the bliss of eternity.
