نَم خلياً فإنَّني مُستهامُ

نَم خلياً فإنَّني مُستهامُ

ليسَ للهائمِ الفؤادِ مَنامُ

ليسَ للهائمِ الفؤادِ مَنامُ

Sleep carefree, for I am crazed with love.

Sleep, for I am sleepless,

There is no sleep for one whose heart is lost in love.

The anguished have no rest,

لكَ صبرٌ تسلُو بهِ ولقلبي

لكَ صبرٌ تسلُو بهِ ولقلبي

حُرَقٌ مستديمةٌ وغرامُ

حُرَقٌ مستديمةٌ وغرامُ

You have patience through which to find solace, while my heart has

You may find solace, while for me

unceasing burning pangs and consuming love.

There is a burning, endless love.

بعضَ ما يُورثُ الضناءَ وحبي

بعضَ ما يُورثُ الضناءَ وحبي

كَ لطَالَ الضَّنى وأبلَى السَّقامُ

كَ لطَالَ الضَّنى وأبلَى السَّقامُ

A little less of what brings wasting! By my love

Some of the grief my love begets

for you, wasting has indeed lasted long, and sickness has worn me down.

Is long endured, consuming me,

إن تلُمها عيناً بكتكَ فَصِلها

إن تلُمها عيناً بكتكَ فَصِلها

ما عليها وأنتَ تَجفُو مَلامُ

ما عليها وأنتَ تَجفُو مَلامُ

If you blame an eye that wept for you, then draw near to it.

Rebuke those eyes that make you weep

No blame rests on it while you turn away.

Do not blame her, the blame is mine.
