وَاصَلُونِي بَعْدَ بُعْدِي

وَاصَلُونِي بَعْدَ بُعْدِيوَرَعُوا سَالِفَ عَهْدِي

Wāṣalūnī baʿda buʿdī, Waraʿū sālifa ʿahdī

They granted me union after my distance, and kept their former pledge to me,

وَعَلَى رَغْمِ الْحَسُودِأَنْجَزُوا بِالْوَصْلِ وَعْدِي

Waʿalā raghmi al-ḥasūdi, Anjazū bi-al-waṣli waʿdī

And in spite of the envious they fulfilled their promise of union.

يَا سُرُورِي بِالتَّدَانِييَا هَنَا حَظِّي وَسَعْدِي

Yā surūrī bi-at-tadānī, Yā hanā ḥaẓẓī wasaʿdī

O my joy at nearness! O the happiness of my fortune and luck!

جَادَ لِي بَدْرِي بِوَصْلِيَا هَنَائِي نِلْتُ قَصْدِي

Jāda lī badrī biwaṣli, Yā hanāʾī niltu qaṣdī

My full moon granted me union; O my happiness, I have attained my aim!

فَاجْتَمِعْ يَا مَاءَ عَيْنِيوَانْطَفِي يَا نَارَ وَجْدِي

Fajtamiʿ yā māʾa ʿaynī, Wanṭafī yā nāra wajdī

So gather, O water of my eyes, and be quenched, O fire of my ecstasy!

أَنَا فِي لَيْلَةِ أُنْسِيقَدْ صَفَا مَوْرِدُ وِرْدِي

Anā fī laylati unsī, Qad ṣafā mawridu wirdī

I am in my night of intimacy; the spring I drink from has grown pure.

وَتَنَاوَلْتُ كُؤُوسِيبَيْنَ رَيْحَانٍ وَوَرْدِ

Watanāwaltu kuʾūsī, Bayna rayḥānin wawardi

I took my cups among sweet basil and roses

مِنْ يَدَيْ حُلْوِ التَّثَنِّيفَاتِنٍ أَهْيَفِ قَدِّ

Min yaday ḥulwi at-tathannī, Fātinin ahyafi qaddi

From the hands of one sweet in his swaying, captivating, slender of form.

تَارَةً يُنْشِدُ خُذْ كَاسِيوَطَوْراً هَاكَ خَدِّي

Tāratan yunshidu khudh kāsī, Waṭawran hāka khaddī

Now he sings, "Take my cup," and now, "Here is my cheek."

إِنْ أَقُلْ يَا أَلْفَ مَوْلَىقَالَ لِي يَا أَلْفَ عَبْدِي

In aqul yā alfa mawlā, Qāla lī yā alfa ʿabdī

If I say, "O my master a thousand times," he says to me, "O my servant a thousand times."

أَوْ سَقَى الْمَمْزُوجَ غَيْرِيخَصَّنِي بِالصِّرْفِ وَحْدِي

Aw saqā al-mamzūja ghayrī, Khaṣṣanī bi-aṣ-ṣirfi waḥdī

If he gives others the mixed drink, he singles me out for the pure.

فِي هَوَاهُ دَعْ مَلَامِيوَاطَّرِحْ غَيِّي وَرُشْدِي

Fī hawāhu daʿ malāmī, Waṭṭariḥ ghayyī warushdī

In his love, leave your blame, and cast aside my error and my right guidance.

نَارُ وَجْدِي فِي هَوَاهُكَنَعِيمِ الْخُلْدِ عِنْدِي

Nāru wajdī fī hawāhu, Kanaʿīmi al-khuldi ʿindī

The fire of my ecstasy in his love is to me like the bliss of eternity.
