1. إِذا اِهتَجَرنا نَهانا عَن تَهاجُرِنا

    مِنَ القُلوبِ شَقيقٌ حينَ نَهتَجِرُ

    When we shun each other, we are forbidden to forsake one another

    by a kindred heart among hearts, whenever we part.

  2. فَلا يَزالُ رِضىً مِنّا وَمَعتَبَةٌ

    وَالحُبُّ يُنميهِ ما نَأتي وَما نَذَرُ

    So contentment and reproach persist between us,

    and love grows through what we do and what we leave undone.

  3. مُغاضِبٌ لَيسَ إِلّا اللَهُ يُجبِرُهُ

    عَلى الرِضى وَلَهيبي مِنهُ مُستَعِرُ

    He is angry; none but God can compel him

    to be reconciled, while my flame blazes because of him.

  4. هذا وَقَلبي فَريدٌ في مَوَدَّتِهِ

    فَلَيسَ يَشرَكُني في حُبِّهِ بَشَرُ

    All this, while my heart is alone in its affection for him,

    so no human being shares with me in loving him.
