1. مَن لا أُسمِّي ولا أَبُوحُ به

    أَصْلَحَ بَيْني وبَيْنَ مَن أَهْوَى

    He whom I neither name nor speak of

    has made peace between me and the one I love.

  2. أَرْسَلْتُ مَن كابَدَ الهَوَى فَدَرَى

    كَيْفَ يُداوِي مواضِعَ البَلْوَى

    I sent one who had suffered love and so knew

    how to heal the places of affliction.

  3. ولِي حُقُوقٌ في الحُبِّ ظاهِرةٌ

    لَكِنَّ إِلْفِي يَعُدُّها دَعْوَى

    And I have clear rights in love,

    but my beloved deems them mere claims.

  4. يا رَبِّ إِنَّ الرّسُولَ أَحْسَنَ بي

    يا رَبِّ فاحْفَظْني من الأَسْوَا

    O my Lord, the messenger has indeed treated me well;

    O my Lord, then protect me from what is worse.
