ما رُمتُ صَرفاً لِوَجهي عَن وِصالِكُمُ

ما رُمتُ صَرفاً لِوَجهي عَن وِصالِكُمُ

إِلاّ وَحُبُّكُمُ يَثني لَكُم عُنُقي

إِلاّ وَحُبُّكُمُ يَثني لَكُم عُنُقي

I have never sought to turn my face away from union with you

I did not turn my face from reaching you,

without love for you bending my neck toward you.

Except your love bent my neck back to you.
