1. I preoccupied my heart and hearing with love of you,
May God not free my heart from loving you,
١. شَغَلْتُ قلبي وَسَمْعي في مَودَّتِكُمْ
لا خَلَّصَ اللّهُ قلبي مِنْ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ
2. Nor grant me life after separation from you,
If I do not die regretting after being parted from you.
٢. ولا رُزِقْتُ حياةً بَعْدَ بَيْنِكُمُ
إِنْ لَم أَمُتْ نَدَماً مِنْ بَعْدِ فُرْقَتِكُمْ
3. Behold, I was angry with my soul because of you,
Until I shunned my life when you shunned me.
٣. هَا قَدْ غَضِبْتُ عَلَى رُوحي لِأَجْلِكُمُ
حتى جَفَوتُ حَياتي عِند جَفوَتِكُمْ
4. When the embers of longing flare up in my liver,
The water of meeting you extinguishes it when I see you.
٤. إذا تَلَهَّبَ جمرُ الشوقِ في كَبِدي
أَطْفاهُ ماءُ التَّلاقي عِنْدَ رُؤْيَتِكُمْ
