1. O cypress tree of the garden, my longing has lasted long
Is there for me a way to your shade?
١. أَيا سَروَةَ البُستانِ طالَ تَشَوُّقي
فَهَل لي إِلى ظِلٍّ لَدَيكَ سَبيلُ
2. When will those whose going out is not fulfilled meet
Those who yearn to enter but have no access?
٢. مَتى يَلتَقي مَن لَيسَ يُقضي خُروجُهُ
وَلَيسَ لِمَن يَهوى إِلَيهِ دُخولُ
3. May God grant us relief from an affliction of ours
So we may meet in joy, intimate friends
٣. عَسى اللَهُ أَن نَرتاحَ مِن كَربَةٍ لَنا
فَيلَقىاِغتِباطاً خُلَّةٌ وَخَليلُ
