If Barham had attained from me as much as

لو أن برهم نال مني مثلما

قد نلتِ من حبي وفرط ولوعي

And made the gardens of eternity just one of my meadows

وغدت جنانُ الخلد بعض رَبوعي

My mind, my whole self settled on loving you

فكري استقرَّ على هواكِ جميعي

My heart never broke nor my tears flowed

لم ينسحق قلبي وتجرِ دموعي

And with you lies the joy of my pleading and humility

ولديك طاب تضرعي وخشوعي

You are the direction of my prostration and bowing

ولأنت قبلة سجدتي وركوعي

Be gentle with my lowliness and humility

مولاي رقَ لذلَّتي وخضوعي

I trust, to you I return when I escape

٨. منكِ الحية بكِ الممات عليك
متكلي اليكِ اذا فررتُ رجوعي

9. Wrong me, oppress me, show no mercy
The servant is best when obedient

اجري دمي فالعبدُ خيرُ مطيع

10. No creatures were created loving so much before or after me
Or as bereft, not hoping to be sated

١٠. لم تبدع الاكوانُ مثلي مغرماً
قبلي ولا بعدي عديم هجوعِ
