لِم زدتني سقماً لا مسَّكَ السهَرُ
The sickness in my body was already enough for you.
The sickness that afflicts your body should suffice
Why have you added to my sickness? May sleeplessness never touch you.
Why then did you add to my malady insomnia's touch?

An eye kept sleepless, and a body ensnared,
My sleepless eye and frail body struggle on
And the heart between them, with which thoughts commune in solitude.
While thoughts oft trouble my weary heart

يا مانعي لذة الدنيا وما رحبت

إني ليقنعني من وجهك النظرُ
O you who deny me the world's delight, for all its vastness,
O you who denied me worldly pleasures however vast
Indeed, a look at your face is enough to content me.
Just to see your face would make me content
