1. يا غافِلاً عَما أُلاقي

    مَن حَرّ وَجدي وَاِشتِياقي

    O you, heedless of what I endure

    from the heat of my passion and my longing.

  2. قَد أَحرَقَ القَلب الزَفير

    وَقرَّح الدَمع المَآقي

    Sighing has scorched the heart,

    and tears have made the corners of the eyes sore.

  3. لَكَ أَشتَكي أَلَم الحَيا

    ة وَطولَها بَعد الفُراق

    To you I complain of life's pain

    and its length after parting.
