1. O you whom I implored with Him
And immersing myself excessively in His love disfigured me
١. يا من توَسلتُ إليهِ بهِ
وشوّهَ الإغِراق في حُبهِ
2. I who have become a devotee of His
With His passion so act according to it
٢. أنا الذي أصبحت مولى له
بوجدهِ فاعمل على حسبه
3. Verily I have tasted the bitter of love
In the past and its sweetness
٣. إن الهوى قد ذقت من مرهِ
في سالفِ الدهرِ ومن عذبهِ
4. Thus I see naught but a lad dead
His eyes blights upon his heart
٤. فما أرى إلا فتىً ميتاً
عيناه آفاتٌ على قلبهِ
