1. يا مُحِيَ مُهجَتي وَيا مُتلِفَها

    شَكوى كَلَفي عَساكَ أَن تَكشِفَها

    O reviver of my soul, and O its destroyer!

    The anguish of my ardent love—may you dispel it!

  2. عَينٌ نَظَرَت إِلَيكَ ما أَشرَفَها

    روحٌ عَرَفَت هَواكَ ما أَلطَفَها

    An eye that looked upon you—how noble it is!

    A soul that has known love for you—how tender it is!
