شَهد الشَفاه حلا بِطيب شفاء

فَاِمنُن بِبَعض المَن لِلحُكَماء

The lips testified to the sweetness of healing

So believe in giving some favor to the wise

وَكَفاك أَجر لمك اِن يَغنيهمو

عَن كُل طب نافِع وَدَواء

And suffice you the reward if it enriches them

From every beneficial medicine and remedy

وَكَفاك اِجر رِضاب ثَغرِكَ اِنَّهُ

ماء الحَياةِ وَرافِعُ اللأواء

And suffice you the reward of your mouth's pleasure if it

Is the water of life and elevates aspirations

اِن الجَميلَ لَقَد حَباكَ جَميلُه

فَاِمنُن وَلا تَبخل بِذي النُعماء

Indeed, the beautiful one has gifted you his beauty

So believe and do not be stingy with the generous one

وَاِذا أَتاكَ الصَب مُلتَهِب الحَشا

زَفَراتُهُ ضرب من الرمضاء

And if the passionate youth comes to you

His sighs are a kind of burning

وَرَأَيت لَوعَتِهِ عَلَيهِ تَغَلَّبَت

شَوقا اِلى ذاكَ الرَحيق النائي

And you see his fervor has overcome him

Yearning for that distant sweet nectar

فَاِمنُن عَلَيهِ بِرِشفَة اِو نَفحَة

مِن روحِ لُقمان يَفز بِرَجاء

So believe in granting him a sip or breath

From Luqman's soul to kindle hope

وَاِذا رَأَيتَ الحُب مِن أَلَم الجَوى

هد القوى بِشَدائِد البُأَساءِ

And if you see love has weakened his strength with the agony of passion

Give him iron morsels generously

عاطيهِ سلفات الحَديد تكرما

مِن قَلبِكَ الجافي بِكُل رِضاء

From your heart that is dry of all acceptance

For God's sake, O hard eyebrows that

لِله در قسي حاجِبك الَّتي

كَم جَندَلَت ظُلما مِن الشُهَداء

Have wrongfully slain many martyrs

You may be astonished at the strangeness of their words

قَد تُهت عَجبا في غَرابَةِ قَولِهِم

اِنَّ الرَشا الرامي مِن السُعَداء

That the happy thrower shoots his arrows

So for the sake of those sleepy ones and what

فَبِحَق تِلكَ الناعِسات وَما لَها

مِن يَقَظَة أَصمت بِها أَحشائي

Makes my insides silent but their vigilance

I leaned towards the heart of a deprived lover

اِلّا عَطَفت عَلى فُؤاد مُتيم

دَنف الحَشاد اِنّي المحبة نائي

The warmth of love, I am deprived indeed

How I ransom you with the sweetness of my willing life

كَم أَفتديك بحلو عمري راضيا

مِن كُلِّ بَاس ذُقته وَعَناء

From every harm I have tasted and fatigue

O how often my misfortunes clashed with you

يا طالَما صادَمت فيكَ عَواذِلي

وَسدلت ثَوبي ساتِرا لِدِمائي

And I lowered my garment covering my blood

So by the one who shed the blood of the family of love with

فَبِمَن أَراق دِماء آل الحب مَع

حُسن الرِضا وَحباك أَمر وَلائي

Good acceptance and your love is my allegiance

Do not be stingy with the ointment of closeness which

لا تَبخَلَن بمرهم القربِ الَّذي

هُوَ منتهى طبي وَعَين دَوائي

Is the utmost of my medicine and essence of my remedy

And show kindness to the youth who ransomed you with his soul

وَاِعطِف عَلى صب فَداك بِنَفسِهِ

يَهديكَ خلاقي لِحُسن وَفائي

My Creator guides you to fulfill my allegiance
