1. أَسيرُ وَقَلبي في هَواكَ أَسيرُ

    وَحادي رِكابي لَوعَةٌ وَزَفيرُ

    I journey, while my heart is captive to love of you.

    And my mounts’ driver is anguish and sighing.

  2. وَلي أَدمُعٌ غُزرٌ تَفيضُ كَأَنَّها

    نَدىً فاضَ في العافينَ مِنكَ غَزيرُ

    And I have copious tears that overflow, as though they were

    abundant dew from you, overflowing among those who seek your bounty.

  3. وَطَرفٌ طَريفٌ بِالسّهادِ كَأَنَّهُ

    لهاكَ جَليسُ الجُودِ فيهِ يغيرُ

    And an eye sore from sleeplessness, as though it

    were your bounty, with generosity’s companion raiding it.
