1. With my own self, my beloved will bereave me of my soul
And make my body the adornment of the grave and wormwood
١. بنفسي حبيب سوف يثكلني نفسي
ويجعل جسمي تحفة اللحد والرَّمسِ
2. The whole world has become too narrow for me
With his aloofness from me as if I am in prison
٢. لقد ضاقت الدنيا عَليَّ بأسرها
بإعراضِه عنّي كأنيَ في حَبسِ
3. I denied passion when I was, since passion made
Its charms a sun I looked upon the sun
٣. جحدتُ الهوى إذ كنتُ مذ جعل الهوى
محاسنَه شمساً نظرتُ الى الشمسِ
4. To settle a heart in which there has become a funeral
Of yearning except that my eyes are at a wedding
٤. لأُسكِنَ قلباً فيه قد صار مأتم
من الشوق إلا أنَّ عينيَّ في عرسِ
