1. لا تنكروا أن حالي فيهم حالي

    إن كنت ذا جسد في حبهم بالي

    Do not deny that my state with them is sweet,

    even if my body is worn away with love for them.

  2. كفى بقدري علواً أن هجرهم

    لي شاهدٌ أنني منهم على بالِ

    It is enough to exalt my standing that their estrangement

    bears witness for me that I am on their minds.

  3. وصار لي بين أهل العشقِ مرتبةٌ

    بذا على رغم حسادي وعذالي

    And I have gained a rank among the people of passionate love,

    through this, despite my enviers and reproachers.
