ما لي بِلَوعَةٍ ذا الغَزال أَهيم

ما لي بِلَوعَةٍ ذا الغَزال أَهيم

وَالجِسم مِنّي ناحِل وَسَقيم

وَالجِسم مِنّي ناحِل وَسَقيم

Why do I wander lovesick, burning with longing for this gazelle?

Why I am stricken with grief for the gazelle am I restless

And my body is wasted and ailing.

While my body is lean and unwell

اِنَّ العَذابَ بِمُهجَتي لَأَليم

اِنَّ العَذابَ بِمُهجَتي لَأَليم

وَاللَه بِالقَلبِ الخَفوقِ عَليم

وَاللَه بِالقَلبِ الخَفوقِ عَليم

Indeed, the torment in my soul is truly painful.

Indeed, the agony within my soul is so painful

And God knows the throbbing heart full well.

And Allah knows well the fluttering heart
