لَمّا رَأَيتُ الدَمعَ يَفضَحُني

لَمّا رَأَيتُ الدَمعَ يَفضَحُني

وَقَضَت عَلَيهِ شَواهِدُ الصَبِّ

وَقَضَت عَلَيهِ شَواهِدُ الصَبِّ

When I saw the tears exposing me,

When I saw the tears expose me

And the lovesick lover's telltale signs had passed judgment against them,

And the pangs of passion decided against me

أَلقَيتُ غَيرَكَ في ظُنونِهِمُ

أَلقَيتُ غَيرَكَ في ظُنونِهِمُ

فَسَتَرتُ وَجهَ الحُبِّ بِالحُبِّ

فَسَتَرتُ وَجهَ الحُبِّ بِالحُبِّ

I cast someone other than you into their suspicions,

I cast suspicion on another

So I veiled the face of love with love.

And veiled the face of love with love
