قل لمن أسقم باللَّح

قل لمن أسقم باللَّح

ظِ جسيماً وفؤادا

ظِ جسيماً وفؤادا

Say to him who sickened with a glance

Tell whoever becomes sick with yearning,

a little body and a heart,

With a heavy body and heart,

والذي يسلُكُ قلبي

والذي يسلُكُ قلبي

حبه حيثُ أرادا

حبه حيثُ أرادا

and whose love leads my heart

And whoever steers my heart,

wherever he wishes:

His love wherever he wishes,

سهرَ الطرفُ فمُلي

سهرَ الطرفُ فمُلي

تَ سروراً ورقادا

تَ سروراً ورقادا

The eye kept vigil; may you be blessed with

That my eyes have stayed up joyfully

joy and slumber.

And slept in happiness and tranquility.

كيفَ أزداد اشتياقاً

كيفَ أزداد اشتياقاً

كلَّما زدتَ بعادا

كلَّما زدتَ بعادا

How does my longing grow

How could I increase in longing

whenever you grow more distant?

Whenever you increase in distance?
