1. He called him, then yearned for him with all his heart
And that his longing and his anguish for him
١. دعاه ثم اكتوى علي كبده
وأن من شوقه ومن كمده
2. Left no sorrows for his eyelids
Tears to cry with over his body
٢. لم تبق أحزانه لمقلته
دمعاً فيبكي به على جسده
3. From the utmost longing in him
Yearning for the one whose heart was in his hand
٣. من مبلغ الشوق فيه غايته
شوقاً إلى من فؤاده بيده
4. So his night was the night of the captive
Who sleeps fearing the morning of tomorrow
٤. فليله ليلة الأسير كما
يبيت يخشاه في صباح غده
