لِلَّهِ هَوى خِصالُهُ لا أُحصي
ماnever زُرَّwere buttoned عَلىover غيرother than هَواهlove for him قُمصيmy shirts
ما زُرَّ عَلى غير هَواه قُمصي
What a wondrous love—his qualities I cannot count!
For God I yearn, His virtues I cannot count
My shirts were never buttoned over anything but love for him.
I have not donned a shirt but for His love

لَم أَخلُ مِنَ التَغابُنِ اليَومَ وَقَد

غالَيتُ بِهِ وَباعَني بِالرُخصِ
Today I have not escaped a losing bargain, for
Today I shun all fraud and hypocrisy
I valued him highly, and he sold me cheaply.
Though high the price I pay, He bought me cheap
