لَئِن كانَ شَهرُ الصَومِ لِلناسِ رَحمَةً

لَئِن كانَ شَهرُ الصَومِ لِلناسِ رَحمَةً

لَقَد حَلَّ بي فيهِ البَلاءُ المُبَرِّحُ

لَقَد حَلَّ بي فيهِ البَلاءُ المُبَرِّحُ

If indeed the month of fasting is a mercy to people,

Although the fasting month is a mercy for people

agonizing affliction has surely befallen me in it:

Affliction has certainly befallen me in it, causing anguish

بَلاءٌ مِنَ الحُبِّ الَّذي لَم تَزَل بِهِ

بَلاءٌ مِنَ الحُبِّ الَّذي لَم تَزَل بِهِ

جَوامِعُ أَكبادِ المُحِبّينَ تَقرَحُ

جَوامِعُ أَكبادِ المُحِبّينَ تَقرَحُ

an affliction from love, through which, unceasingly,

An affliction from love, which has continually

the innermost parts of lovers' livers grow sore.

Caused the inner hearts of lovers to ulcerate
