1. يا من أظل بباب داره

    ويطول حبسي بانتظاره

    O you at whose house-door I linger all day,

    while my confinement lengthens as I await you.

  2. وحياة وجهك واحمراره

    وجمال صدغك في مداره

    By the life of your face and its blush,

    and the beauty of your sidelock in its curve,

  3. لا حلت عمري عن هوا

    ك ولو صليت بحر ناره

    never in my life shall I turn from love for

    you, even if I burn in the heat of its fire.
