1. Your servant, o lion of valor, his longing
Has compelled him to journey to your absence
١. عَبدُكَ يا لَيثَ الشَّرى شوقُه
جَدَّ بِهِ السّيرُ إِلى غابِكْ
2. And sail the sea, to the sea of your presence
My master, I have come for no other reason
٢. وَسارَ في البحرِ لِبَحرِ النّدى
وصارَ ذا الآنَ لدى بابِكْ
3. Than to kiss your hands and threshold
٣. ما جِئتُ يا مَولايَ إِلّا إِلى
تَقبيلِ كفَّيكَ وَأَعتابِكْ
