1. Did he know, when he was unfaithful in his ways,
What would happen to the one longing for him?
١. أَتراهُ لَمَّا جَارَ في أَخْلاقِهِ
عَلِمَ الَّذي يَجْرِي على مُشْتَاقِهِ
2. A gazelle who is more deadly than a lioness
And brighter than the crescent moon on the horizon.
٢. ظَبْيٌ يَزيدُ عَلى الظُّبَى في فَتْكِهَا
وَعَلَى هِلالِ الأُفْقِ في إِشْرَاقِهِ
3. How many passionate lovers has he enthralled with his love,
Yet he died while his lover was still longing for him.
٣. كَمْ حيّ صَبٌّ مُغْرَمٍ في حُبِّهِ
وَمُحِبُّهُ قَدْ مَاتَ في أَشْوَاقِهِ
4. He has captured hearts with his captivation.
May God protect him for his lovers.
٤. أَسَرَ القُلوبَ بِأَسْرِهَا في حُبِّهِ
فَاللَّهُ يَحْفَظُهُ عَلى عُشَّاقِهِ
