يا مَن بِطولِ الهَجرِ أَصبَحَ غادِري

يا مَن بِطولِ الهَجرِ أَصبَحَ غادِري

حَتّى رَثى اللاحي وَأَمسى عاذِري

حَتّى رَثى اللاحي وَأَمسى عاذِري

O you who, through long estrangement, have become my betrayer,

O you whose long absence has made you so distant

Until even the reproacher pitied me and came to excuse me.

That even the guide laments and the critic makes excuses

أِبذا الدَلالَ تَظُنُّ صَرفَ نَواظِري

أِبذا الدَلالَ تَظُنُّ صَرفَ نَواظِري

بِاللَهِ ضَع قَدَمَيكَ فَوقَ مَحاجِري

بِاللَهِ ضَع قَدَمَيكَ فَوقَ مَحاجِري

Do you think such coyness will turn my eyes away?

With these flirtations do you think to distract my gaze?

By God, place both your feet upon my eye sockets;

For God's sake, step softly round my ruins

إِنّي قَنِعتُ مِنَ الوِصالِ بِذاكا

إِنّي قَنِعتُ مِنَ الوِصالِ بِذاكا

وَإِذا سَمَحتُ وَيا سَعادَةَ طالِعي

وَإِذا سَمَحتُ وَيا سَعادَةَ طالِعي

Indeed, I have contented myself with that much union.

I'm content with that brief union

And if I consent—and O joy of my fortune!—

And if you’re gracious, O joy of my sky

بِزِيارَةٍ تُطفي لَهيبَ تَوَلُّعي

بِزِيارَةٍ تُطفي لَهيبَ تَوَلُّعي

فَاِجعَل كَلامَكَ يا مُنى القَلبِ مَعي

فَاِجعَل كَلامَكَ يا مُنى القَلبِ مَعي

To a visit that quenches the blaze of my passion,

With a visit to quench the flames of my yearning

Then talk with me, O heart's desire,

Let your words, O heart’s desire, console me

وَاِطلِ مُحادَثَتي فَإِنَّ مَسامِعي

وَاِطلِ مُحادَثَتي فَإِنَّ مَسامِعي

تَهوي حَديثَكَ مِثلَما تَهواكَ

تَهوي حَديثَكَ مِثلَما تَهواكَ

And prolong your conversation with me, for my ears

And spin out our talk, for my hearing

Love your speech just as they love you.

Adores your voice like I adore you
