1. مِن عاشِقٍ يَشكو صَباباتِهِ

    إِلى مَحبٍّ هائِمٍ مِثلِهِ

    From a lover who laments his passionate yearnings,

    To a lover lost in love like him.

  2. كِلاهُما صَبٌّ إِلى إِلفِهِ

    حَرّانُ ظَمآنُ إِلى وَصلِهِ

    Each of them is lovesick for his beloved,

    Burning and thirsting for union with him.

  3. يا رَبّ عَجّل جَمعَ هَذا بِذا

    وَقَرّب الشَكلَ إِلى شَكلِهِ

    O Lord, hasten the joining of this one with that,

    And bring like close to its like.
