Many of the reproachers do not leave me alone.
Many complainers do not leave me alone
By your life, none of the reproachers is sorrowful.
By your life, there is no sadness in complainers
يَقولونَthey say لَوif خالَفتَyou defied قَلبَكَyour heart لَاِرعَوىit would come to its senses

فَقُلتُso I said وَهَلand do …? لِلعاشِقينَfor lovers قُلوبُhearts
فَقُلتُ وَهَل لِلعاشِقينَ قُلوبُ
They say, "If you defied your heart, it would come to its senses."
They say "If you went against your heart it would be satisfied"
So I said, "And do lovers have hearts?"
So I said "Do lovers even have hearts?"
