ثِقي بِعَيني فَلَو آنَستُ مِن بَصَري

ثِقي بِعَيني فَلَو آنَستُ مِن بَصَري

خِيانَةً لَكِ لَم يَصحَبنِيَ البَصَرُ

خِيانَةً لَكِ لَم يَصحَبنِيَ البَصَرُ

Trust my eye, for if I perceived in my sight

Trust my eyes, for if they had perceived

a betrayal of you, my sight would no longer remain with me.

Any betrayal of you, sight would have left me.

هَواكِ سِترٌ عَلى قَلبي أَقيكِ بِهِ

هَواكِ سِترٌ عَلى قَلبي أَقيكِ بِهِ

مِن كُلِّ أُنثى لَها يُستَحسَنُ النَظَرُ

مِن كُلِّ أُنثى لَها يُستَحسَنُ النَظَرُ

Love for you is a veil over my heart; with it I shield you

My love for you hides my heart; with it I protect you

from every woman whom it is pleasing to behold.

From all women at whom men freely gaze.
