1. إِرثِ لِصَبٍّ فيكَ قَد زِدتَهُ

    عَلى بَلايا أَسرِهِ أَسرا

    Have pity on one lovesick for you; you have added to his lot

    another bondage atop the afflictions of his captivity.

  2. قَد عَدِمَ الدُنيا وَلَذّاتِها

    لَكِنَّهُ ما عَدِمَ الصَبرا

    He has lost the world and its pleasures,

    but he has not lost patience.

  3. فَهوَ أَسيرُ الجِسمِ في بَلدَةٍ

    وَهوَ أَسيرُ القَلبِ في أُخرى

    So he is captive in body in one town,

    and captive in heart in another.
