لمجنونِكُمْ عارضٌ أخضرُ

لمجنونِكُمْ عارضٌ أخضرُ

دليلي على حبِّه ناهِضُ

دليلي على حبِّه ناهِضُ

Your madman has green cheek-down.

Your crazed one has a verdant contender

The proof of my love for him stands erect.

My guide to his love a vigorous guide

وقالوا أسُلَّ به عارضٌ

وقالوا أسُلَّ به عارضٌ

فقلتُ وبي ذلكَ العارضُ

فقلتُ وبي ذلكَ العارضُ

And they said, 'Has cheek-down been drawn forth upon him?'

And they said, "With him a contender is smitten"

So I said, 'I too have that affliction.'

I said, and that contender is smitten with me
