قيلَ لي صِحْتَ لسُكْرٍ

قيلَ لي صِحْتَ لسُكْرٍ

قلتُ إِنْ صِحْتُ صَحَوْتُ

قلتُ إِنْ صِحْتُ صَحَوْتُ

I was told, “You cried out from intoxication.”

They said to me, “You are awake from drunkenness”

I said, “If I cried out, I sobered up.”

I said, “If I am awake, I am sober”

طابَ لي في الحُبِّ موتي

طابَ لي في الحُبِّ موتي

ووُجودي إِذْ مَحَوْتُ

ووُجودي إِذْ مَحَوْتُ

My death in love was sweet to me,

My death in love was sweet to me

And my existence, when I effaced it.

And my existence, when I erased it
