1. أطلِقْ لسانَكَ ما تَشَا

    لا يعتَرِى قلبي إبَاءُ

    Give your tongue free rein, as you wish.

    No reluctance overtakes my heart.

  2. قُلْ ما تقولُ من المَقَا

    لَةِ لا يُحَرِّكُنى سَفَاءُ

    Say whatever you will in speech;

    no foolishness moves me.

  3. أتتُوبُ من شيءِ تجو

    زُ وفي الفُؤادِ لكَ الصَّفَاءُ

    Will you repent of some transgression,

    while my heart holds pure affection for you?

  4. لو كُنتَ تقطَعُ أُنْمُلى

    بالعَضْبِ فهْي لكَ الفِداءُ

    Even if you were to cut off my fingertips

    with a keen sword, they would be a sacrifice for you.

  5. لا تحسبنِّي ضِقْتُ ذَرْ

    عاً فافعَلَنَّ كما تَشَاءُ

    Do not think I have lost my patience;

    do whatever you wish.

  6. أتظُنُّ هذا الظَّنَّ فِيْ

    ىَ ونورُ وجهك لي جِلاءُ

    Do you think such a thought of

    me, when the light of your face brings me clarity?

  7. إنَّي ولى قلبٌ إلى

    لُقياكَ لَرَّحَهُ العَنَاءُ

    Indeed, I have a heart longing for

    a meeting with you, tormented by suffering.

  8. دَعْنا نُقَضِّي العُمْرَ في

    مَنْحٍ ويجمعُا الرَّخَاءُ

    Let us spend our lifetime in

    Manh, and may prosperity bring us together.

  9. فِلمَ البِعادُ وأنتَ ذُو

    خيرٍ وما هذا الشفَاءُ

    Why, then, the separation, when you are endowed with

    goodness, and this is no cure?

  10. فاللّهَ فيما قد بَقِى

    مِ العُمْرِ فهْو لنا نَمَاءُ

    So, for God's sake, take heed of what remains

    of life, for it is growth for us.

  11. فالعُمْرُ ظلٌّ زائلٌ

    لا زالَ يطلُبُهُ الفَنَاءُ

    For life is a vanishing shadow;

    annihilation never ceases pursuing it.

  12. وعليكَ يا محبوبُ من

    أهل الوِداد لكَ السَّنَاءُ

    And upon you, O beloved, from

    the people of affection—may splendor be yours.
