1. مَرحَباً وَاللَهِ حَقّاً

    بِحَبيبي وَأَميري

    Welcome indeed, by God,

    to my beloved and my prince,

  2. وَبِمَن شَوقي إِلَيهِ

    شَفَّ جَهري وَضَميري

    and to him for whom my longing

    has consumed my outward and inward being,

  3. وَبِمَن أَذهَلَني عَن

    حُبِّ مِطواعٍ غَريرِ

    and to him who distracted me from

    loving a compliant, guileless one,

  4. وَبِمَن يَذهَبُ بِالهَ

    مِّ وَيَأتي بِالسُرورِ

    and to him who takes away sor-

    row and brings joy.
