يا حاملَ المجمرِ ما حاجتي

يا حاملَ المجمرِ ما حاجتي

إلى بخورٍ وإلى مِجْمَرِ

إلى بخورٍ وإلى مِجْمَرِ

O bearer of the censer, what need have I

O carrier of the censer, what need have I

For incense and for a censer?

For incense or for censer?

خدُّك فوق النار من صبغِهِ

خدُّك فوق النار من صبغِهِ

وَفُوكَ نَشْرُ العودِ والعنبرِ

وَفُوكَ نَشْرُ العودِ والعنبرِ

Your cheek surpasses fire in its hue,

Thy cheek above the fire takes its dye

And your mouth is the fragrance of agarwood and ambergris.

From its perfume thy mouth is the dispenser
