1. ما قَليلٌ مِنكَ لي بِقَليلِ

    يا مُنى نَفسي وَغايَةَ سُؤلي

    A little from you is not little to me,

    O my soul's desire and my ultimate wish.

  2. سَل بِحَقِّ اللَهِ عَينَكِ عَنّي

    هَل أَحَسَّت في الوَرى بِقَتيلِ

    For God's sake, ask your eye about me:

    Has it sensed one slain among humankind?

  3. أَنتَ أَفسَدتَ الحَياةَ بِهَجرٍ

    وَمَماتي بِحِسابٍ طَويلِ

    You have ruined life with estrangement,

    and my death with a long reckoning.
