1. My heart, whose habit is yearning, has appeared
In a place where none has seen, nor knows its abode
١. قد بان قلبي الذي الأشواق ديدنه
بحيث لم ير بل لم يدر موطنه
2. When I was ignorant of where it resides
I asked her about my heart, where is its dwelling
٢. لما جهلت مكانا صار يسكنه
سألتها عن فؤادي أين مسكنه
3. For it was lost to me the day I gladdened her
So she turned her face towards me and she had heard
٣. لانه ضاع مني يوم مسراها
فوجهت وجهها نحوي وقد سمعت
4. What I said and understood what I hinted
And in answering my question, she began gracefully
٤. ما قلته وعلى مارمته اطلعت
وفي جواب سؤالي رأفة شرعت
5. She said: "We have many hearts gathered here"
So which of them, I said, is its most wretched
٥. قالت لدينا قلوب جمة جمعت
فأيها انت تعني قلت أشقاها
