1. بِكَ وَصلي عَمَّن سِواكَ اِنقِطاعي

    وَبِسَتري هَواكَ كَشفُ قَناعَتي

    My union with you is my severance from all but you.

    And in concealing my love for you lies the unveiling of my contentment.

  2. وَمُغيبي بي عَنكَ عَينُ اِحتِجابي

    عَن وُجودي وَفيكَ عَينُ اِطِّلاعي

    And my absence from you through myself is my very veiling

    From my own existence; and in you lies my very insight.

  3. فَلِهَذا لَم يَنثَني عَنكَ ثانٍ

    مُنذُ لَبّى لُبّي إِلَيكَ الداعي

    For this reason, no other has turned away from you

    Since my inmost heart answered the one summoning it to you.
