1. الدَّمع يشهد أنّي

    لَقانعٌ بسلامِكْ

    Tears bear witness that I

    am indeed content with your greeting.

  2. حُجبتَ عَنِّيَ حتى

    مُنعت طِيبَ كلامِكْ

    You were kept hidden from me, until

    I was denied the sweetness of your speech.

  3. فهل عليك جناحٌ

    إن زُرتَني في مَنامِكْ

    So would there be any blame on you

    if you visited me in your dream?

  4. يا خيرَ مولىً لعبدٍ

    رفقاً بقلب غلامِكْ

    O best of masters to a slave,

    be gentle with your boy's heart.

  5. أشكو الى اللّهِ ربّي

    دمعاً جرى من غرامِكْ

    I complain to God, my Lord,

    of tears that flowed for love of you.

  6. أطفى حرارة شوقي

    وُقِيتَ شَرَّ حِمامِكْ

    Quench the heat of my longing—

    may you be spared the evil of your death.
