1. By Allah, say to me, O Messenger
What is that long grievance
١. بِاللَهِ قِلُ لي يا رَسولُ
ما ذَلِكَ العَتبُ الطَويلُ
2. By Allah, say to me again
For I am disturbed by what you say
٢. بِاللَهِ قُل لي ثانِياً
فَلَقَد طَرِبتُ لِما تَقولُ
3. Speak softly to my hearing of her
And let the talk of her be long
٣. لَرِّر لِسَمعي ذِكرَها
وَدَعِ الحَديثَ بِها يَطولُ
4. By Allah, when you went to her
Was there rejection or acceptance
٤. بِاللَهِ لَمّا جِئتَها
هَل كانَ رَدٌّ أَم قَبولُ
5. If that pleasure returns to me
Then the good news is yours, O Messenger
٥. إِن عادَ لي ذاكَ الرِضا
فَلَكَ البِشارَةُ يارَسولُ
6. Mine is my love for you if this is true
For with me it is little
٦. لَكَ مُهجَتي إِن صَحَّ ذا
كَ وَإِنَّها عِندي قَليلُ
