1. Seven days for me today, O my beloved
Your radiant sight has not appeared to me
١. سَبْعٌ لِيَ اليَوْمَ أيا بُغْيَتي
لَم يَبْدُ لي مَنْظَرُكَ المُشْرِقُ
2. What is this aloofness to a love-smitten one
Whose tears from yearning profusely flow
٢. ماذا الجفاءُ اللهَ في مُغْرَمٍ
أدْمُعُهُ مِنْ لَوْعَةٍ تَدْفُقُ
3. Does the full moon appear from afar
While you are near, yet do not shine?
٣. أيَظْهَرُ البَدْرُ عَلى بُعْدِهِ
وأنتَ بالقُرْبِ ولا تُشْرِقُ
