1. O eyes of my life, by whose existence
My existence remains, towards you I yearn.
١. أَعَين حَياتي وَالَّذي بِبَقائِهِ
بَقائي لَقَد أَصبَحت نَحوَك شَيِّقا
2. You made your home in my heart, though for my glance
The fortune of seeing you takes away sorrow.
٢. أَقَمتَ بِقَلبي غَيرَ أَنَّ لِمُقلَتي
بِرُؤيتكَ الحَظَّ الَّذي يُذهِبُ الشَقا
3. I never thought you'd forsake me,
And if between people I became seen, a meeting would transpire.
٣. وَما كانَ ظَنّي أَنك الدَهرَ تارِكي
وَلَو أَنَّني أَصبحتُ بَينَ الوَرى لَقا
4. Subtleties of meaning in seeing you there were not,
To be realized except through visitation and encounter.
٤. لَطائفُ مَعنىً في العِيان ولَم تَكُن
لِتُدرك إلا بِالتَزاوُرِ وَاللِقا
