أصبحَ القلبُ عندهُ

أصبحَ القلبُ عندهُ

وهو لو شاء رده

وهو لو شاء رده

The heart is now in his keeping;

My heart has come to stay with him

and he, if he wished, would return it.

Though if he wished, he'd send it away

كيف للمقلتين أن

كيف للمقلتين أن

يطعما النوم بعده

يطعما النوم بعده

How can the two eyes

How can my eyes sleep after that

taste sleep after him?

When to him my soul does stray

كم تمنيت منه وص

كم تمنيت منه وص

لاً فأعطيت صده

لاً فأعطيت صده

How often I wished for union with him,

I wished for union with my dear

yet was given his rejection.

But his rejection came my way

لامني فيه حاسدٌ

لامني فيه حاسدٌ

أتعبَ الله جده

أتعبَ الله جده

An envious man reproached me on his account;

Let no envious blamer rebuke

may God exhaust his efforts!

May God make his enemies pay
