1. O phantom of whom I am a slave from where
Do I have gratitude that can fulfill some of what you bestow?
١. يا طَيفُ مَن أَنا عَبدهُ مِن أَينَ لي
شُكرٌ يَقومُ بِبَعضِ ما توليهِ
2. You distance yourself then draw near according to intention
So I see you like reality in a simile
٢. يَنأى فَتُدنيهِ عَلى النَوى
فَأَراهُ كَالتَحقيقِ في التَشبيهِ
3. My state would not have been better if what
I was given of generosity and kindness in it
٣. ما كانَ أَحسَنَ حالَتي لَو أَن ما
أوتيتَ مِن كَرَمٍ وَعَطفٍ فيهِ
