أَنشِدي يا صَبا

أَنشِدي يا صَبا

وَارقصي يا غُصون

وَارقصي يا غُصون

Sing, O east wind,

Sing, O breeze

and dance, O branches,

And dance, O branches

وَاسقني يا نَدى

وَاسقني يا نَدى

بَين لَحظ العُيون

بَين لَحظ العُيون

and give me drink, O dew,

And give me to drink, O dew

amid the glances of eyes.

Between the flutter of eyes

فيك يا وَردَتي

فيك يا وَردَتي

قَد حَلا لي الجُنون

قَد حَلا لي الجُنون

Over you, O my rose,

In you, my rose

madness has grown sweet to me.

Madness has come over me

أَنا مني الهَوى

أَنا مني الهَوى

أَنتَ منكَ الفتون

أَنتَ منكَ الفتون

I—love comes from me;

From me comes passion

you—enchantment comes from you.

From you comes charm

أَنشري ما طَوت

أَنشري ما طَوت

مِن غَرامي السُنون

مِن غَرامي السُنون

Unfold what has been folded away

Unfurl what

of my passion by the years.

My years of love have hidden

كانَ في أَضلُعي

كانَ في أَضلُعي

فَرَوَتهُ الجُفون

فَرَوَتهُ الجُفون

It lay within my ribs,

It was in my ribs

and the eyelids told its tale.

But my eyelids concealed it

أَقربي مِن فمي

أَقربي مِن فمي

فَحَديثي شجون

فَحَديثي شجون

Come closer to my mouth,

Come closer to my mouth

for my words are full of sorrow.

For my words are lamentations
