1. بالذي أستعبد أروا

    ح المحبين لذاتك

    By Him who enslaved the souls

    of lovers to your very self,

  2. وبلطف من معاني

    ك يُرى من حركاتكْ

    and by a subtle grace of your qualities,

    revealed in your movements,

  3. وبنور الحسن إذ يح

    ويك من كل جهاتكْ

    and by beauty’s light as it envelops

    you from every side,

  4. وبسر فَوْقَ مَا يُدْ

    رَكُ من حُسْنِ صفاتكْ

    and by a secret beyond what can be

    grasped of the beauty of your attributes,

  5. لا تُذِقْني الموتَ فِي

    صدك عني بحياتكْ

    do not make me taste death through

    your turning away from me—by your life!
