ما ذابَ سُقاماً في الهَوَى لَوْلاكُمُ

ما ذابَ سُقاماً في الهَوَى لَوْلاكُمُ

ما أَتْلَفَ قَلْبَهُ جَوىً إِلَّاكُمُ

ما أَتْلَفَ قَلْبَهُ جَوىً إِلَّاكُمُ

He would not have melted away, sick with love, but for you.

No sickness would melt in passion were it not for you

Only you have consumed his heart with burning anguish.

No heart would be afflicted by love's agony but for you

ما أَعْتَبَكُمْ ما الذَّنْبُ وَاللّه لَكُمُ

ما أَعْتَبَكُمْ ما الذَّنْبُ وَاللّه لَكُمُ

الذَّنْبُ لإِنْسانٍ غَدا يَهْواكُمُ

الذَّنْبُ لإِنْسانٍ غَدا يَهْواكُمُ

I do not reproach you; by God, the fault is not yours.

I do not blame you, by Allah, though you are to blame

The fault belongs to one who came to love you.

The blame lies with one who will love you tomorrow
