أَنا الهائِمُ الصَبُّ الَّذي قادَهُ الهَوى

أَنا الهائِمُ الصَبُّ الَّذي قادَهُ الهَوى

إِلَيكِ فَأَمسى في حِبالِكِ مُسلِما

إِلَيكِ فَأَمسى في حِبالِكِ مُسلِما

I am the love-crazed, ardent lover whom passion led

I am the lost one led by passion to you,

To you, and so he yielded within your snares.

So I became a captive in your ropes.

بَرَتهُ دَواعي الحُبِّ حَتّى تَرَكنَهُ

بَرَتهُ دَواعي الحُبِّ حَتّى تَرَكنَهُ

سَقيماً وَلَم يَترُكنَ لَحماً وَلا دَما

سَقيماً وَلَم يَترُكنَ لَحماً وَلا دَما

Love’s urgings wasted him away until they left him

The urgings of love nurtured him until they left him

Ailing, leaving neither flesh nor blood.

Sick, with neither flesh nor blood remaining.
