Many a sought-after one has become a seeker.

رُبَّ مَطْلوبٍ غَدا طَالِبا
2. Whoever repents loving his beloved,
I have not repented loving him.

لَسْتُ عَنْ حُبِّي لَهُ تَائِبا
3. For passion is a predestined conqueror for me,
How can I disobey the conquering predestination?

كَيْفَ أَعْصي القَدَرَ الغَالِبا
4. The dweller of the palace and the one who abandoned it
My heart has come to you in the morning going away.
٤. سَاكِنَ القَصْرِ وَمَنْ حَلَّهُ
أَصْبَحَ القَلْبُ بِكُمْ ذَاهِبَا
5. Know that I am for you a keeper
Witnessing, as long as I live or go away.
٥. اعْلَمُوا أَنِّي لَكُمْ حَافِظٌ
شَاهِداً مَا عِشْتُ أَوْ غَائِبا
