يا ابن الأمين وحسب بي

يا ابن الأمين وحسب بي

O son of the trustee, and enough is my ancestry

Of al-Khalisiyyin is its trusted one.

Of the noble houses, its trustee

تشكو اليراعة ربها

تشكو اليراعة ربها

مذ طال فيه حنينها

She complains to her Lord

Since her longing for him has grown long.

Since longing in it grew long

For glory, and he is her right hand.

For glory, and it is her right

فالى م يهجرها وقد

عطفت عليه شجونها

Why did he abandon her when she

Her sorrows have inclined tenderly toward him?

Turned to him with her sorrows

قد حرك الإحساس في

القلب الرقيق سكونها

القلب الرقيق سكونها

Feeling has stirred in

So she turned to the supplicant for him

And her eyes drew his attention.

And her eyes borrowed him

فلطالما جنت به

وكفى الحبيب جنونها

وكفى الحبيب جنونها

For she has so often gone mad over him,

For she was long crazed by him

And her madness is enough for the beloved.

And the beloved's madness sufficed her
