1. My eyes turned into gardens, so why does my chest burn?
Why should a neighbour be tormented for the sins of another?
١. عيْني جَنَتْ فعَلامَ تحْرَقُ أضْلُعي
أبِما جَنى جارٌ يعَذَّبُ جارُ
2. O my heart, do not be startled by the fires of passion,
For this is the fire of Abraham.
٢. يا قَلْبُ لا تُدْهِشْكَ نيرانُ الهَوى
فكَنارِ إبْراهيمَ تلكَ النارُ
3. So be patient with what has been decreed and you will attain your wishes,
Just as consistent minting gives the dinar its engraved form.
٣. فاصْبِرْ على ما حُمِّلوا تَنَلِ المُنى
بالسّبْكِ أدْرَكَ نَقْشَهُ الدينارُ
