1. أَيا روحَ روحي رَأَيت العَجَب

    لِبُعدك يا غايَتي وَالأَرَب

    O soul of my soul, I have seen wonders,

    because of your distance, O my goal and desire.

  2. فَإِن أَكُ أَذنَبت يا سَيّدي

    فَإِنّ شَديد عِقابي وَجَب

    For if I have sinned, O my lord,

    then indeed my harsh punishment is deserved.

  3. وَإِن كانَ لا ذَنب لي في الهَوى

    فَقُل لي لِهَذا الجَفا ما السَبَب

    And if I am guilty of no sin in love,

    then tell me: what is the reason for this coldness?
