قَد مَرَّ بي وَأَنا المُولَّع حبُّهُ

قَد مَرَّ بي وَأَنا المُولَّع حبُّهُ

بِالرّوحِ جُدتُ فَلَم يَقُل يا حَينَكا

بِالرّوحِ جُدتُ فَلَم يَقُل يا حَينَكا

He passed by me while I was consumed with love for him.

He passed me by while I was so enamored of his love

I offered my soul, yet he did not say, 'Woe to you!'

I greeted his spirit, but he did not say, “Oh, there you are!”

بَل قالَ لي مَن أَنتَ مغمضَ عَينِهِ

بَل قالَ لي مَن أَنتَ مغمضَ عَينِهِ

قُلتُ المُولَّعَ فيك فَاِفتَح عَينَكا

قُلتُ المُولَّعَ فيك فَاِفتَح عَينَكا

Rather, he said to me, his eye closed, 'Who are you?'

Rather he said to me, eyes closed, “Who are you?”

I said, 'The one enamored of you—so open your eye.'

I said, “The one so enamored of you - open your eyes!”
