1. حبَّذا يومُ وصالٍ

    يصل السعد وُقَيْتَه

    How lovely is a day of union,

    Whose brief hour good fortune attends!

  2. أه من رخص محبٍّ

    باعه الصبر وليتَه

    Ah, how little a lover is worth,

    Whom patience sold—and would that

  3. بعت في العشاقِ روحي

    يا حبيبي بِسُتَيْتَه

    I had sold my soul among the lovers,

    O my beloved, for a paltry six!
