دعاك الشوق والأدب

ومات بقلبك الطرب

Longing and propriety called you

And rapture died in your heart

ومثلك عن طلاب اللَه

و إن فكرت منقلب

Yet you are like those who seek God

If you ponder, you will be transformed

إلا تنهاك واضحةٌ

تلوح كأنها العطب

Except a clear yearning overtakes you

Gleaming as if it were ailment
