نطقا لعذالي بسرِّ ضميري
The sorrowful one's sigh and the forsaken one's abasement
The sorrowful soul and the humiliation of the abandoned one
Have spoken to my reproachers of my heart's secret.
Spoke to my torment with the secret of my conscience

نظرٌ يشوبُ سقامهُ بفتورِ
O you, to whom my body's death was announced through your eye
O you who blamed my body with a glance of your eye
By a glance that mingles its sickness with languor.
A look that mixes its sickness with disdain

If what your gaze has wrought in me endures,
If the condition brought on me by your glance remains
My eye will complain to my body, and my joy will dwindle.
My eyes complained to my body and my joy diminished

So, by the beauty of your face, which radiance enhances,
For by the beauty of your face and the light it provides
Union with one such as you is no cause for reproach.
Reunion with the likes of you is no disgrace
