لا تُصغِيا في الهَوى لِمَن عَذَلا

لا تُصغِيا في الهَوى لِمَن عَذَلا

بَل وَاِسقِياني سُقيتُما نَهَلا

بَل وَاِسقِياني سُقيتُما نَهَلا

You two, heed no one who reproaches in matters of love.

Do not listen in love to one who has spurned me,

Rather, give me drink—may you both be given a thirst-quenching draught.

Rather keep giving me drink, you two poured a draft.

لا وَالَّذي مَلَكَ الهَوى جَسَدي

لا وَالَّذي مَلَكَ الهَوى جَسَدي

ما هَجَعَت مُقلَتايَ إِذ رَحَلا

ما هَجَعَت مُقلَتايَ إِذ رَحَلا

No, by the one who gave passion dominion over my body,

No, by Him who owns my heart and body,

My eyes did not sleep when he departed.

My eyelids have not rested since they departed.

لا زالَ طَيفٌ لَهُ يُؤَرِّقُني

لا زالَ طَيفٌ لَهُ يُؤَرِّقُني

يَطرُقُ عَنّي الكَرى إِذا نَزَلا

يَطرُقُ عَنّي الكَرى إِذا نَزَلا

May his phantom never cease to keep me sleepless,

A specter of him continues to torment me,

Knocking slumber away from me whenever it alights.

Troubles turn away from me when they alight.

لا صَبرَ عَمَّن إِذا تَصَوَّرَ لي

لا صَبرَ عَمَّن إِذا تَصَوَّرَ لي

رَأَيتُ بَدرَ السَماءِ قَد أَفلا

رَأَيتُ بَدرَ السَماءِ قَد أَفلا

I cannot bear his absence; whenever he takes shape before me,

I have no patience for one who, if he pictures for me,

I see that the full moon of heaven has already set.

I would see the full moon of the sky has set.
