وَذاتِ لَومٍ عَتَبَت في الَّتي

وَذاتِ لَومٍ عَتَبَت في الَّتي

أَصبَحتُ مِن وَجدي بِها مُرمَضا

أَصبَحتُ مِن وَجدي بِها مُرمَضا

And a reproachful woman chided me about the one

The blamer's rebuke within her I've become sick with passion for

for whom I have become scorched with longing.

Then settled to sleep for the night as my yearning for her grew stronger

ثُمَّ اِنتَهَت راقِدَةً لَيلَها

ثُمَّ اِنتَهَت راقِدَةً لَيلَها

وَأَلفَتِ النَومَ لَها مُعرِضا

وَأَلفَتِ النَومَ لَها مُعرِضا

Then she reached the end of her night asleep,

While she fell asleep peacefully, to slumber turning away

and found sleep offering itself to her.

My eyes cannot rest for desire though tightly shut they stay

وَلَستُ أُغفي إِنَّ كَفَّ الهَوى

وَلَستُ أُغفي إِنَّ كَفَّ الهَوى

تَطرِفُ طَرفي كُلَّما غَمَّضا

تَطرِفُ طَرفي كُلَّما غَمَّضا

And I do not doze, for the palm of love

strikes my eye whenever it closes.
