O reviver of my soul, and O its destroyer!
O reviver of my sorrow, o mender
My ardent love’s lament—may you dispel it.
My complaint to you may you reveal

عَينٌ نَظَرَت إِلَيكَ ما أَشرَفَها

An eye that gazed upon you—how noble it is!
An eye that looked upon you, nothing nobler
A soul that knew love for you—how delicate it is!
A soul that knew your love, nothing gentler
