أصبَحتُ ذا كبدٍ بالنار مُحرَقةٍ

أصبَحتُ ذا كبدٍ بالنار مُحرَقةٍ

وَجداً وعينٍ طَمَت بالمدمع الجاري

وَجداً وعينٍ طَمَت بالمدمع الجاري

I have become one with a liver scorched by fire,

My liver is burnt by fire's flames

From longing, and an eye overflowing with streaming tears.

My cheeks and eyes extinguished by flowing tears

كانني الفُلك في بحر الغرام جرى

كانني الفُلك في بحر الغرام جرى

وَلا يَسير بدون الماءِ وَالنار

وَلا يَسير بدون الماءِ وَالنار

As though I were a ship sailing the sea of love,

As though I were a boat sailing in love's sea

And it cannot sail without water and fire.

Unable to move without water or fire
