كلَّما اشتدَّ خُضوعِي

كلَّما اشتدَّ خُضوعِي

لِجوىً بينَ ضُلوعي

لِجوىً بينَ ضُلوعي

Whenever my submission grew stronger

The more my submission grows

to burning anguish between my ribs,

To a love between my ribs

رَكضَت في حلبتي خد

رَكضَت في حلبتي خد

دَيَّ خيل من دُموعي

دَيَّ خيل من دُموعي

in the twin racecourses of my cheeks galloped

Gallops in my thoughts the cheek

horses made of my tears.

Of a horse made of my tears
