كمين هواي أبرزه كميّ

كمين هواي أبرزه كميّ

بلغزي لاسمه يبدو سميّ

بلغزي لاسمه يبدو سميّ

A warrior has brought the secret of my love to light.

My love lies hidden, though it is immense

Through my riddle of his name, a namesake appears.

My tongue stumbles over his lovely name

فنصف منه سف ولا تُثقل

فنصف منه سف ولا تُثقل

ونصف مثل قول بُنيتي يو

ونصف مثل قول بُنيتي يو

So half of it is “suf”—do not double the consonant;

One half is bitter but not a burden

And half is like my little daughter's utterance, “yū.”

The other half is sweet, like saying "You"
