1. أجارَتنا إن العواذلَ في الهوى

    عليَّ شدادٌ غضّب وغِلاظُ

    O our neighbor, indeed the reproachers in love

    are stern toward me, angry and harsh.

  2. هم الفارغونَ الشغلِ لا شاغلٌ لهم

    وقلبي كَفَتْهُ حَسَّرةٌ وشُواظُ

    They are free of cares, with nothing to occupy them,

    while my heart has its fill of anguish and flame.

  3. وحُبّكُم ما زالَ ينمي بأعظمي

    له في فؤادي موقعٌ وحِفَاظُ

    And my love for you keeps growing in my bones;

    it has a place in my heart, faithfully guarded.

  4. يُنَهْنِه قلبي ذِكرُكُم وحديثُكُم

    وتُتْلِفُه يومَ الفراقِ لِحاظُ

    Remembrance of you and your words soothe my heart,

    and glances destroy it on the day of parting.

  5. غنيت بكم عن مأكلي ومشاربي

    وإن لم أسِغْ منه بفيّ لُماظُ

    With you, I have no need of my food and drink,

    even though no morsel of it has passed through my mouth.
