1. كُلُّ شَيءٍ مِنكَ مَقبولُ

    وَعَلى العَينَينِ مَحمولُ

    Everything from you is welcome,

    And borne upon my two eyes.

  2. وَالَّذي يُرضيكَ مَن تَلفي

    هَيِّنٌ عِندي وَمَبذولُ

    And whatever pleases you of my ruin

    Is a trifle to me and freely offered.

  3. لا تَخَف إِثماً وَلا حَرَجاً

    فَدَمُ العُشّاقِ مَطلولُ

    Fear neither sin nor blame,

    For lovers' blood goes unavenged.

  4. وَعَلى ما فيكَ مِن صَلَفٍ

    أَنتَ مَأمونٌ وَمَأمولُ

    And despite the arrogance in you,

    You are trusted and hoped for.

  5. وَيحَ صَبٍّ في مَحَبَّتِكُم

    كَثُرَت فيهِ الأَقاويلُ

    Alas for one passionately in love with you,

    About whom there is so much talk.

  6. وَعَجيبٌ ما بُليتُ بِهِ

    أَنا مَعذورٌ وَمَعذولُ

    And strange is what I have been afflicted with:

    I am excused and reproached.

  7. لي حَبيبٌ لا أَبوحُ بِهِ

    أَنا مِنهُ اليَومَ مَقتولُ

    I have a beloved of whom I do not speak openly;

    Today I am slain by him.

  8. مالِكي في خُلقِهِ مَلَلٌ

    أَنا مَملوكٌ وَمَملولُ

    My master is prone to boredom by nature;

    I am his slave, and he has tired of me.

  9. فَإِلى كَم أَنتَ يا سَكَني

    كُلُّ وَعدٍ مِنكَ مَمطلولُ

    So how long will you go on, O my solace,

    With every promise from you deferred?

  10. وَإِذا مامُتُّ مِن ظَمَإٍ

    لاجَرى مِن بَعدِيَ النيلُ

    And if I die of thirst,

    May the Nile never flow after me!
