أمسيْتُI have become مجنوناًmad بمجنونةٍfor a madwoman
أمسيْتُ مجنوناً بمجنونةٍ
يغارُis jealous منْof قامتِهاher stature الغصنُthe bough
يغارُ منْ قامتِها الغصنُ
I have become mad with love for a madwoman;
I'm crazy for a beauty
The bough is jealous of her stature.
Whose slender shape makes branches envious.
فمنwho, then عذيريone to excuse me مِنْfor هوىlove ظبيةٍa gazelle
فمن عذيري مِنْ هوى ظبيةٍ
قدْindeed عشقتْهاhave loved her الإنسُhumankind والجنُّand the jinn
قدْ عشقتْها الإنسُ والجنُّ
Who, then, will excuse me for loving a gazelle
What can I do, I'm in love with a gazelle
Whom humankind and the jinn have indeed loved?
Adored by mankind and jinn alike.
