1. يا مالك رَقَّ الصَبُّ باللَّهِ عَلَيْكَ

    ارْحَم حائراً يُسايِلُ الدَمعَ عَليكَ

    O master of the lovesick lover's bondage, by God, I implore you:

    Have mercy on a bewildered one who sheds tears for you.

  2. وَاسمَح بِخَيالٍ في الدُجى يطرُقُ مَن

    أَضحَى دنفاً أذابَهُ الشّوْقُ إِليكَ

    And grant a vision in the night's darkness to visit one

    Who has grown lovesick, melted by longing for you.
