يا فوق ما يسمو لجاج الهوى

يا فوق ما يسمو لجاج الهوى

ويطمح الوجد ويبغى الهيام

ويطمح الوجد ويبغى الهيام

O you beyond the heights to which love’s persistence soars,

O you who soar above the peak of passion’s ache

To which longing aspires, and which love’s frenzy seeks.

And yearn for rapture, craving love’s sweet flame

ألطف بعشاقك وارفق بهم

ألطف بعشاقك وارفق بهم

فقد طغى الحسن وجار الغرام

فقد طغى الحسن وجار الغرام

Be gentle with your lovers and kind to them,

Show kindness to your lovers, gently treat them

For beauty has grown tyrannical, and love has dealt unjustly.

For beauty reigns, and burning love holds sway
