وَأَنت لِعَيني قُرَّةٌ حينَ نَلتَقي

وَأَنت لِعَيني قُرَّةٌ حينَ نَلتَقي

وَذِكرُكِ في نَفسي إِذا خَدِرَت رِجلي

وَذِكرُكِ في نَفسي إِذا خَدِرَت رِجلي

And you are a delight to my eye when we meet.

You bring joy to my eyes whenever we meet

And remembrance of you is in my soul when my leg goes numb.

And thoughts of you revive me when my feet grow weary

وَإِن رَمِدَت عَينايَ يَوماً كَحَلتُها

وَإِن رَمِدَت عَينايَ يَوماً كَحَلتُها

بِعَينَيكِ لَم أَبغِ الذَرورَ مِنَ الكُحلِ

بِعَينَيكِ لَم أَبغِ الذَرورَ مِنَ الكُحلِ

And if my eyes should one day grow sore, I would apply kohl to them

And if my eyes should tire one day, I would line them

With your eyes; I would seek no powdered kohl.

With your eyes - no other kohl do I desire
