1. يا مُوقِدَ النّار الَّذِي لَمْ يَأْلُ في اسْ

    تِخْراجِ ماءِ الْوَرْدِ غايَةَ جَهْدِهِ

    O kindler of the fire, who has spared no effort in

    extracting rosewater with all his might,

  2. أَوَ ما ترَى الْقَمَر الْمُحْرِّقَ ظَالِماً

    قَلْبِي بِنارٍ مِنْ جَفاهُ وَبُعْدِهِ

    And do you not see the moon, unjustly burning

    my heart with the fire of his coldness and distance?

  3. انْظُرْ إِلَيْهِ تَضَرَّجَتْ وَجَناتُهُ

    خَجَلاً وَقَدْ عاتَبْتُهُ في صَدِّهِ

    Look at him: his cheeks have flushed

    with shame, now that I have reproached him for turning away.

  4. إِنْ تَخْبُ نارُكَ فَاقْتَبِسْ مِنْ مُهْجَتِي

    أَوْ يَفْنَ وَرْدُكَ فَاقْتَطِفْ مِنْ خَدِّهِ

    If your fire dies down, then take a spark from my heart's blood;

    Or if your roses run out, then pluck some from his cheek.
