1. ما انقِطاعي عنكَ من مَلَلِ

    حبُّكُم قَد زادَ في شُغُلي

    My staying away from you is not out of weariness.

    Love for you has indeed increased my preoccupation.

  2. واستباقُ الدَّمع يَشهدُ لي

    أنَّني مُذ غِبت ذو وَجَلِ

    And the racing of tears bears witness for me

    That since you left, I have been full of dread.

  3. آهِ مِن شَوقي إِليكَ فَما

    لي بكَ الأَيامَ مِن بَدَلِ

    Ah, my longing for you! For never

    Have I a substitute for you, through all my days.

  4. إِن تَراني حِدتُ عَنكَ فَقَد

    حِدتُ عَن قَولي بِحبِّ عَلي

    If you see that I have turned from you, then indeed

    I have turned from my avowal of love for Ali.
