يا مبتلَى بالحبِّ مفدوحاً

لاقي من الحبِّ تباريحا

O one afflicted with love praised,

Meeting from love wounds,

ألجَمه الحبُّ فما ينثني

إلا بكأس الشوق مصبوحا

Love has bound him, so he does not bend,

Except with a cup of longing illuminated,

وصار ما يُعجبه مغلقاً

عنه وما يَكرهُ مفتوحا

And what pleases him has become closed,

To him and what he hates opened,

قد حازها من أصبحت عنده

ينال منها ا لشمِّ والرِّيحا

He has gained her, so from her he obtained,

The scent and the breeze,

خليفةُ الله فسلِّ الهوى

وعزَّ قلباً منك مجروحا

Representative of God, so ask the passion,

And fortify a heart from you wounded.
