لقد رضي المحبوب بعد صُدُوده

لقد رضي المحبوب بعد صُدُوده

وفكّ فُؤادي من شديد قُيوده

وفكّ فُؤادي من شديد قُيوده

The beloved has indeed relented after turning away,

The beloved relented after his aloofness

And freed my heart from its tight bonds—

And freed my heart from its tight shackles

وما بعهود كنتُ أعهدُ نكثها

وما بعهود كنتُ أعهدُ نكثها

وما كان ظنّي أن يفي بعهوده

وما كان ظنّي أن يفي بعهوده

And not through pledges whose breach I had known;

He did not break his promises as I feared

Nor had I expected him to keep his pledges.

I did not expect him to keep his word

وبات يُعاطيني مُدامة ثغره

وبات يُعاطيني مُدامة ثغره

على آس صُدغيه وورد خدوده

على آس صُدغيه وورد خدوده

And he spent the night offering me the wine of his mouth,

He now grants me the wine of his mouth

Amid the myrtle of his temples and the roses of his cheeks.

On my cheek's myrtle and his rosy cheeks
