1. قَلبي بِخاتَمِ حُبِّكُم مَختومُ

    ما في هَواكَ لَهُ الغَداةُ قَسيمُ

    My heart is sealed with the signet of love for you.

    This morning, it has no partner in loving you.

  2. أَخَذَت مَوَدَّتُكُم هَواهُ بِقَدرِهِ

    قَلباً بِهِ أَمَداً عَلَيكَ مُقيمُ

    Love for you has claimed its passion in due measure—

    A heart long steadfast in that love for you.

  3. مَن كانَ أُعطِيَ مِنكَ قَبلِيَ حَظَّهُ

    مِمَّن أَحَبَّ فَإِنَّني مَحرومُ

    Whoever was given his share by you before me,

    Among those who loved you—I, for my part, am deprived.

  4. يا لَيتَ حَظِّيَ حينَ تَجتَهِدُ المُنى

    مِن نَيلِكَ الإيماءُ وَالتَسليمُ

    Oh, would that my share, when hopes strive their utmost,

    Of winning your favor, were a nod and a greeting.
