1. تَبارَكَ مَنْ كَسَا خَدَّيْكَ وَرْداً

    تَطَلَّعَ مِنْ فُرُوعِ اليَاسَمِينِ

    Blessed is the one who clothed your cheeks in roses

    that sprang from the boughs of jasmine.

  2. وِصَالُكَ جَنَّتِي وَجَفَاكَ نارِي

    وَوَجْهُكَ قِبْلَتِي وَهَوَاكَ دِيني

    Union with you is my paradise, and your coldness is my fire.

    And your face is my direction of prayer, and love of you is my religion.

  3. أَكُلُّ النَّاسِ تَمْطُلُهُمْ بِدَيْنٍ

    لَقَدْ أَوْثَقْتَ نَفْسَكَ بِالدُّيُونِ

    Do you put everyone off over a debt?

    Indeed, you have bound yourself with debts.
