[αʅƚαɳ]

من الشوكة تخرج الوردة
From the thornbush the rose blooms

 

[αʅƚαɳ]

أرخص من التراب

Cheaper than dirt
أو
Dirt-cheap

 

[αʅƚαɳ]

أحمقُ من ماضغ الماء
More stupid than the water chewer

 

[αʅƚαɳ]

أعطش من رمل
Thirstier than sand

 

[αʅƚαɳ]

لسانٌ من رُطب ويدٌ من خشب
He is honey-tongued yet tight-fisted

 

[αʅƚαɳ]

وما كنتُ ممن يدخلُ العشقُ قلبَهُ .. ولكنّ من يُبصِرْ جفونكِ يَعشقُ

Love was never able to enter my heart
but seeing your eyes one inevitably falls in love

 

[αʅƚαɳ]

أغرّكِ مني أنّ حُبّكِ قاتلي .. وأنكِ مهما تأمُري القلبَ يَفعلِ؟

Are you elated that your love kills me
and that whatever you ask of my heart it unquestioningly obeys

 

[αʅƚαɳ]

أقُولُ وَقَدْ نَاحَتْ بِقُرْبي حمامَةٌ:
أيَا جَارَتَا، هَلْ تَشعُرِينَ بِحَالي؟

I said as a dove mournfully cooed near me
O neighbor! Are you aware of my situation
Is your cooing in sympathy for my condition

 

[αʅƚαɳ]

مَعاذَ الهَوَى! ما ذُقتِ طارِقةَ النّوَى
وَلا خَطَرَتْ مِنكِ الهُمُومُ ببالِ

I have tasted of sorrow and separation
More than you have ever experienced
And the worries I have known
Never occurred to you

 

[αʅƚαɳ]

أضْحَى التّنائي بَديلاً مِنْ تَدانِينَا .. ونَابَ عَنْ طيبِ لُقْيانَا تجافينَا

Separation has taken the place of our close contact
Alienation replaced our sweet getting together
