1. With my soul, a lover lived near the dust and found joy,
Wearing mourning for him, every lover donned,
١. بروحِي خطيباً جاورَ الترب فاغْتدَى
عليهِ حداداً لبس كل خطيب
2. He turned away, so the pulpits became desolate for me,
And for the foliage, grief flowed over every rod.
٢. ووَلى فأضْحت للمنابرِ وحشةً
وللورق نوح فوق كلِّ قضيب
3. The singing of his pigeon reminds me of his beauty,
By God, the memory of an abode and a beloved.
٣. يذكرني مغنى حماهُ جماله
فلله ذكرى منزل وحبيب
