1. إِن غِبتَ عَنّي أَو حَضَر

    تَ فَلَست عَن عَيني تَغيبُ

    Whether you are absent from me or present,

    you never vanish from my sight.

  2. لَكِن أَرى عَيشي إِذا

    ما غِبتَ عَنّي لا يَطيبُ

    But I find that my life, whenever

    you are absent from me, has no sweetness.

  3. وَعَلى كِلا الحالَينِ مِن

    كَ فَأَنتَ وَاللَهِ الحَبيبُ

    And in either of your two states,

    you are, by God, the beloved.

  4. سِيّانِ في صِدقِ الهَوى

    عِندي حُضورُكَ وَالمَغيبُ

    Equal, in the sincerity of love,

    are your presence and absence to me.

  5. وَإِذا رَأَيتَ مِنَ البَعي

    دِ مَوَدَّةً فَهُوَ القَريبُ

    And if you see, from one far away,

    affection, then he is the one who is near.

  6. إِنّي لَأَعلَمُ أَنَّ ظَن

    ني فيكَ ظَنٌّ لايَخيبُ

    I know full well that my opinion

    of you is one that will not prove mistaken.
