1. حق وإن جعل النصيحُ يصيح

    أنا عاشقٌ هذا الحديثُ صحيحُ

    True, even if the well-wisher begins to shout:

    I am in love; this statement is true.

  2. وإذا عشقتُ يكون ماذا هل له

    دَيْنٌ عليَّ فيغتدى ويروح

    And if I fall in love, what of it? Is he owed

    a debt by me, that he comes morning and evening?

  3. فيه قضاء لا ولا كفارة

    فأرحْ فؤادي إن قولك رِيحُ

    Is any repayment due for it? No, nor any expiation.

    So give my heart rest, for your words are wind.
