1. يَا مُجِيلَ الرُّوحِ في جَسَدي

    والذِي يَفْتَرُّ عَنْ بَرَدِ

    O you who set the soul coursing through my body,

    And you whose smile reveals hailstones,

  2. وَفَريدَ الحُسْنِ واحِدَهُ

    مُنْتَهاهُ مُنْتَهى العَدَدِ

    And you, beauty’s peerless one, its one and only,

    Its utmost limit is the limit of number.

  3. خُذْ بِكَفِّي إِنَّني غَرِقٌ

    في بِحارٍ جَمَّةِ المَدَدِ

    Take my hand, for I am drowning

    In seas of abundant waters.

  4. ورِياحُ الهجْرِ قدْ هَدَمَتْ

    ما أقامَ الصبرُ مِنْ أَوَدِي

    And the winds of estrangement have torn down

    What patience had set straight in my bent frame.
