أَصبَحتُ عَلى الهَوى رَبيطَ الجاشِ

أَصبَحتُ عَلى الهَوى رَبيطَ الجاشِ

لا يُزعجني الرَقيبُ بالإِيجاشِ

لا يُزعجني الرَقيبُ بالإِيجاشِ

I have become steadfast of heart in love.

I have become, because of love, like a camel with a nose ring

The watcher does not unsettle me with intimidation.

The watcher does not disturb me with his cries

مِن نقل وشاتي نَذَرَ الحَيُّ دَمي

مِن نقل وشاتي نَذَرَ الحَيُّ دَمي

في حُبّك ما لي وَلِهذا الواشي

في حُبّك ما لي وَلِهذا الواشي

Because of my slanderers’ reports, the clan has vowed to shed my blood.

For the sake of your love, my cheeks have shed their blood

In loving you, what have I to do with this tale-bearer?

In your love, I have no care for slanderers
