وحَياةِ أشواقي إليكَ

وحَياةِ أشواقي إليكَ

وتُرْبَةِ الصَّبرِ الجميلِ

وتُرْبَةِ الصَّبرِ الجميلِ

And by the life of my longings for you,

By my life and my yearning for you

And by the grave of beautiful patience,

And by the beautiful soil of patience

ما استحسَنَتْ عيني سواكَ

ما استحسَنَتْ عيني سواكَ

ولا صَبَوْتُ إلى خليلِ

ولا صَبَوْتُ إلى خليلِ

My eye has found none but you beautiful,

My eyes did not find anyone as beautiful as you

Nor have I yearned for another beloved.

Nor did I incline towards another companion
