أَفديكِ يا فِتنَةَ الجِسمانِ وَالروحِ
On my lips, remembrance of you has been mingled with my praise of God.
Remembering you has turned my temples gray with my praises.
I would ransom you, O enchantment of body and soul!
I sacrifice myself for you, O temptation of body and soul!

God knows that I will not forsake you
God knows I do not shun you,
As long as I live, nor will my torments over you cease.
my life, nor do my feelings for you ever fade.

إِن كُنتُ أَشرَحُ مَعنى حُبِّكُم شَغَفا
فَإِنَّthen indeed سيركِyour conduct عِنديto me غَيرُnot مَشروحِexplained
فَإِنَّ سيركِ عِندي غَيرُ مَشروحِ
If, in my ardor, I explain the meaning of loving you,
If I openly express my passionate love for you,
Then your conduct is indeed unexplained to me.
it is because your ways to me are indescribable.
