1. قُلْ لِمَنْ نَامَ خَلِيَّاً

    مِنْ عَذَابِ المُسْتَهَامِ

    Say to him who slept free

    from the torment of the love-stricken one,

  2. وَلِمَنْ أَغْرَى دُمُوعَ

    العَيْنِ شَوْقَاً بِانْسِجَامِ

    And to him who made the tears

    of the eye stream with longing,

  3. وَأَذَابَ الجَسَدَ المُضْ

    نَى بِأَنْوَاعِ السَّقَامِ

    And melted the body, worn-

    out by various kinds of illness:

  4. نَمْ وَإِنْ كَانَتْ جُفُونِي

    لَمء تَذُقْ طَعْمَ المَنَامِ

    Sleep, even though my eyelids

    have not tasted the savor of sleep.

  5. مَاتَ شَافِيْكَ وَلاَ زِلْتَ

    May your healer die, and may you never cease—
