أَلاLo! قَدindeed أَرىI see إِلّاonly بُثَينَةَButhayna لِلقَلبِfor the heart
أَلا قَد أَرى إِلّا بُثَينَةَ لِلقَلبِ

بِوادي بَدِيٍّ لا بِحِسمى وَلا شَغبِ
Lo, I see only Buthayna for the heart,
Behold! I see none but Buthaina brings peace to my heart,
In the valley of Badiyy, not in Hisma, nor in Shaghb,
In a lonely valley, neither fiercely nor commotion,
وَلاnor بِبُراقٍat Buraq قَدalready تَيَمَّمتَyou have headed toward فَاِعتَرِفso accept
وَلا بِبُراقٍ قَد تَيَمَّمتَ فَاِعتَرِف

لِما أَنتَ لاقٍ أَو تَنَكَّب عَنِ الرَكبِ
Nor at Buraq, toward which you have headed—so accept
Nor with lightning you have assumed, so confess!
What you will encounter, or turn aside from the caravan.
Why are you absent? Or turn away from the caravan?
أَفيis it in كُلِّevery يَومٍday أَنتَyou مُحدِثُstirring up صَبوَةٍa passion
أَفي كُلِّ يَومٍ أَنتَ مُحدِثُ صَبوَةٍ
تَموتُyou die لَهاfor it بُدِّلتُmay I be given in exchange غَيرَكَother than you مِنof قَلبِa heart
تَموتُ لَها بُدِّلتُ غَيرَكَ مِن قَلبِ
Do you kindle a new passion every day,
Can it be that each day you create a new passion,
For which you die? May I be given another heart in your place!
For which I die, when others have replaced you in my heart?
