1. For this love I have
A great esteem
١. لِذا الْحُبِّ عِنْدي
مقَامٌ عظِيمْ
2. That all is
For he who is patient
٢. وأنَّه كُلُّوا
لِمَنْ لَو صَبَرْ
3. So whoever among you
Is afflicted by
٣. فمَن بُلِي مِنْكم
بِهذا الْهَوَى
4. This passion, be patient and do not make
A cure for his malady
٤. يصْبِر ولا يَجْعَلْ
لِدَاؤُ هُ دَوَا
5. Union and separation
Are equal to me
٥. وِصالُوا وهجْرُوا
هُ عِنْدِي سَوَا
6. If your beloved
Resides in your heart
٦. إِنْ كانْ حَبِيبَكْ
بقَلْبِكْ مُقِيم
7. Then do not complain of his estrangement
Whenever he is estranged
٧. فَلاَش تَشكُو هَجْرُو
مَتى ما هَجَرْ
8. My beloved has never
Estranged me
٨. لَم قَطْ هَجَرنِي
حَبِيبي أنَا
9. Nor has he been unjust to me
Nor has he committed a crime
٩. ولا جارْ عَليَّا
ولاَ قَد جَنَى
10. He does what he does
He is my wish
١٠. يَعْمَلْ إِشْ ما يَعمل
هُ عِنْدي الْمُنَى
11. Union and separation
I have made bliss
١١. وِصالُوا وهَجْرُوا
جعَلْتُوا نَعِيمْ
12. And you, O rational one
Look closely
١٢. وأنْتَ يا عاقِل
أنْظُرْ ذَا النّظَرْ
13. Lest you divide
And division is impossible
١٣. لاشْ تُبْصِرْ مُفَرِّق
والتَّفْريقْ مُحالْ
14. And you make for your love
Estrangement and union
١٤. وتَجْعلْ لِحُبِّكْ
هِجارْ وَوِصالْ
15. It is nothing but one
And without separation
١٥. ما هُو إِلاَّ واحِد
وبغَير انْفِصال
16. So you twist
And he is straight
١٦. فأنْتَ الْمُعَوِّجْ
وهو الْمُسْتقِيم
17. And whatever has appeared
To you is from you
١٧. وأيْش ما ظَهَرْ لَكْ
فِمِنَّكْ ظَهَرْ
18. You want us to prove
To you a evidence
١٨. تُريدْ أنْ نُقِيم لكْ
على ذَا دَلِيلْ
19. Look at your face
In a polished mirror
١٩. مُور أنْظُرْ لِوَجْهِكْ
في مِرْآهْ صَقِيل
20. See there your beauty
How beautiful it is
٢٠. عَلَى حالْ جمالِكْ
تَرَى ثَمْ جَمِيلْ
21. And if an angel or a devil
Has appeared to you
٢١. وإِنْ كانْ ظَهَرْ لَكْ
مَلَكْ أو رَجِيم
22. Then you alone are there
There is no other
٢٢. فأنْتَ هُ وحْدَكْ
ما ثَمَّ آخَرْ
23. Do not do your deeds, doer
And do not spend your spending, spender
٢٣. إِياك لا تعمل
صِنَاعَك صِناع
24. Lest it be said to you,
Go back and be encouraged
٢٤. وإِيّاكْ لا تُنْفِقْ
قِطاعكْ قِطاعْ
25. And lest it be said to you
An old example
٢٥. لِئلاَّ يُقالْ لَكْ
إِرْجَعْ وانْطِباعْ
26. Indeed, o my beloved
You walk away on a journey
٢٦. وإِلاَّ يُقالْك
مِثَالاً قَديمْ
٢٧. حَقَّا يا حَبِيبي
تَمْشِي للسَّفَر
