1. He approached me so I said to him about myself
It is enough for me to live for you in yearning
١. تَعَرَّضَ بي فَقُلتُ إِلَيكَ عَنّي
كَفاني فيكَ عَيشِيَ بِالتَمَني
2. I fear the glances upon you to the point
That I become jealous of you when I see you away from me
٢. أَخافُ مِنَ اللِحاظِ عَليكَ حَتّى
أُغارُ عَليكَ حينَ أَراكَ مِنّي
3. Have you not seen me when I send an apparition
And my fear of you increases after my tranquility
٣. أَلَم تَرَني إِذا أَرسَلتُ طَيفاً
وَزادَ عَليكَ خَوفي بَعدَ أَمني
4. I kiss the dust of his tread with my eyelids
And erase the trace of his step with my eyelids
٤. أُقَبِّلُ تُربَ مَسعاهُ بِطَرفي
وَأَمحو إِثرَ وَطأَتِهِ بِجِفني
