1. The fires of your abandonment do not die down
And the swords of your eyes do not go back in their sheaths
١. نِيرانُ هَجْري لَيْسَ تَخْمَدْ
وَسُيُوفُ عَيْنِكَ لَيْسَ تُغْمَدْ
2. My soul strives for what pleases you
In spite of what distresses it
٢. وَالنَّفْسُ فيما ساءَها
طَلَباً لَما يُرْضِيكَ تَجْهَدْ
3. Your generosity is distant
Your stinginess is near, it does not go far
٣. وَالْجُودُ مِنْكَ مَباعَدٌ
وَالْبُخْلُ دانٍ لَيْسَ يَبْعُدْ
4. Who will give me good news
Of your kindness towards me, I long for it
٤. مَنْ ذا يَكُونُ مُبَشِّرِي
بِالْعَطْفِ مِنْكَ عَليَّ أَحْمَدْ
