جُعِلَت مُهجَتي الفِداءَ لِغُصنٍ

جُعِلَت مُهجَتي الفِداءَ لِغُصنٍ

إن تَثَنّى ثَنى القُلوبَ إِلَيهِ

إن تَثَنّى ثَنى القُلوبَ إِلَيهِ

My life's blood was made a ransom for a bough;

My soul was offered in ransom for a branch,

if he sways, he bends hearts toward himself.

If it bent, hearts bent towards it.

كُلَّما لاحَ وَجهُهُ بِمَكانِ

كُلَّما لاحَ وَجهُهُ بِمَكانِ

كَثُرَت زَحمَةُ العُيونِ عَلَيهِ

كَثُرَت زَحمَةُ العُيونِ عَلَيهِ

Whenever his face appears in a place,

Whenever its face appeared in a place,

the throng of eyes upon him grows.

Eyes crowded upon it.
