1. يا ابن الأمين وحسب بي

    ت الخالصيين أمينها

    O son of al-Amin; enough for the house

    Of al-Khalisiyyin is its trusted one.

  2. تشكو اليراعة ربها

    مذ طال فيه حنينها

    The reed pen complains of her master,

    Since her longing for him has grown long.

  3. هي راية مرفوعة

    للمجد وهو يمينها

    She is a banner raised

    For glory, and he is her right hand.

  4. فالى م يهجرها وقد

    عطفت عليه شجونها

    How long, then, will he forsake her, though

    Her sorrows have inclined tenderly toward him?

  5. قد حرك الإحساس في

    القلب الرقيق سكونها

    Feeling has indeed been stirred within

    The tender heart by her stillness.

  6. فأنابت الداعي له

    واستلفتته عيونها

    So she deputized the one who prays for him,

    And her eyes drew his attention.

  7. فلطالما جنت به

    وكفى الحبيب جنونها

    For she has so often gone mad over him,

    And her madness is enough for the beloved.
