في فؤادي نارُ وَجْنَته

في فؤادي نارُ وَجْنَته

وبجسمي سُقْمُ مقلتهِ

وبجسمي سُقْمُ مقلتهِ

In my heart is the fire of his cheek;

In my heart is the fire of his cheek.

and in my body, the malady wrought by his eye.

And in my body is the sickness of his eye.

صارَ قلبي فيه محترقاً

صارَ قلبي فيه محترقاً

آهِ من قلبي وحرقتهِ

آهِ من قلبي وحرقتهِ

For him, my heart has come to burn—

My heart has come to burn for him.

ah, my heart, and its burning anguish!

Alas for my heart and its burning!
