يكفيكِ يا ذَاتَ اللَّمى يكفيكِ

يكفيكِ يا ذَاتَ اللَّمى يكفيكِ

ما قد لَقِيتُ مِنَ الصَّبابةِ فيكِ

ما قد لَقِيتُ مِنَ الصَّبابةِ فيكِ

Let it suffice you, O you of dusky lips, let it suffice you:

Enough, O bearer of blames, enough

what I have suffered from longing for you.

Of what I have endured because of you

داوي ضنىً في القَلْبِ أنتِ جَلَبْتِهِ

داوي ضنىً في القَلْبِ أنتِ جَلَبْتِهِ

فدواءُ دائي رشْفَةٌ مِنْ فيكِ

فدواءُ دائي رشْفَةٌ مِنْ فيكِ

Heal the wasting sickness in my heart that you yourself have caused;

You brought aching sorrows to my heart

for the cure of my sickness is a sip from your mouth.

So cure my illness with a drink from you

أفديكِ قد عَبثتْ صباباتُ الهوى

أفديكِ قد عَبثتْ صباباتُ الهوى

بي فارفقي يا مُنْيتي أفديكِ

بي فارفقي يا مُنْيتي أفديكِ

I would ransom you! The ardent longings of love have toyed

I sacrifice myself for you after the youthful follies of love’s passion

with me; so be gentle, O my heart’s desire—I would ransom you!

Have toyed with me, so go gently, I implore you

واللهِ ما تركَ الهوى مِنّي سوى

واللهِ ما تركَ الهوى مِنّي سوى

جسمٍ نَحيلٍ أو دمٍ مَسْفوكِ

جسمٍ نَحيلٍ أو دمٍ مَسْفوكِ

By God, love has left of me nothing but

By God, love has left me with nothing but

a gaunt body or spilled blood.

A frail body and spilled blood
