1. هَزارُ هُيامي بالصبابة يصدحُ

    على غصن قلبٍ بالهوى يترنّحُ

    The nightingale of my rapturous love sings out with ardent longing,

    On a heart's branch, swaying with love.

  2. يغرّد شوقاً في هوى الحاتميّ مَن

    بختم فتوحات المواهب يفتحُ

    It warbles longingly in love for al-Hatimi, who

    Opens through the seal of the revelations of gifts.

  3. أرى حبّه فرضاً عليّ ومذهبي

    هواه وإنّي فيه بالحبّ أشطحُ

    I deem love for him a duty upon me, and my creed

    Is love for him; and indeed, in him, through love, I utter ecstatic words.

  4. وكأس غرامي فاض من خمر حبّه

    وكلّ إناءٍ بالّذي فيه ينضحُ

    And the cup of my passion has overflowed with the wine of his love,

    And every vessel exudes what is within it.
