فيروز - حامل الهوى Fairouz -The One Burdened With Passion Is Weary

[Aloha]

حامل الهوى تعب. أبو نواس

( The One Burdened With Passion Is Weary. Abu Nuwas [d. 814 AD])

حامل الهوى تعب ـــ يستخفه الطرب
If he cries, it is right for him [to do so] - what he has is no game.
إن بكى يحق له ـــ ليس ما به لعب
Whenever one cause [of pain] comes to an end - from you, [another] cause returns to me.
كلما انقضى سبب ـــ منك عاد لي سبب
You laugh obliviously - as the lover weeps.
تضحكين لاهية ـــ والمحب ينتحب
You marvel at my sickness - my health is the marvel.
تعجبين من سقمي ـــ صحتي هي العجب
