دراك يا خلي دراك

من قبل أن أذهب عليك حسره

Save me, my beloved—save me!

Before I perish in sorrow over you.

فاننا في الهلاك

إن لم تداركني بفرد نظره

For truly, we are perishing

Unless you rescue me with a single glance.

خامر طباعي هواك

وبامتزاجه فيّ صار فطره

Your love has permeated my nature,

And, mingling within me, became my very being.

وكيف شا أعشق سواك

أولى على طول البعاد قدره

How could I ever love anyone but you?

Though the separation lasts, your worth has the greater claim.
