إِنِّي سأَلتُكَ بالنَّبِيِّ محمد

ووصيِّهِ الهادِي الأَمينِ المهتدي

I ask you by the Prophet Muhammad

And his successor, the rightly guiding, trusted guide

وبِحُبِّ منْ أَغرى فؤادَكَ حُبُّهُ

بِصَبابةٍ مَمزوجَةٍ بتجلُّدِ

And by the love of the one whose love has captivated your heart

With youthfulness mixed with composure

وَبِسحرِ منطِقكَ الَّذي سُلْطانُهُ

حُكمٌ يَجورُ على القلوبِ ويَعْتَدي

And by the magic of your speech, whose authority

Is a rule that tyrannizes over hearts and transgresses

هَلا هَجَرتَ بفيكَ قولكَ سَيِّدي

مَوْلىً يَقولُ لِعبدِهِ يا سَيِّدي

Why not abandon with your mouth, my master

A master who says to his slave, "My master"
