شَغَلْتُ قلبي وَسَمْعي في مَودَّتِكُمْ

لا خَلَّصَ اللّهُ قلبي مِنْ مَحَبَّتِكُمْ

I preoccupied my heart and hearing with love of you,

May God not free my heart from loving you,

ولا رُزِقْتُ حياةً بَعْدَ بَيْنِكُمُ

إِنْ لَم أَمُتْ نَدَماً مِنْ بَعْدِ فُرْقَتِكُمْ

Nor grant me life after separation from you,

If I do not die regretting after being parted from you.

هَا قَدْ غَضِبْتُ عَلَى رُوحي لِأَجْلِكُمُ

حتى جَفَوتُ حَياتي عِند جَفوَتِكُمْ

Behold, I was angry with my soul because of you,

Until I shunned my life when you shunned me.

إذا تَلَهَّبَ جمرُ الشوقِ في كَبِدي

أَطْفاهُ ماءُ التَّلاقي عِنْدَ رُؤْيَتِكُمْ

When the embers of longing flare up in my liver,

The water of meeting you extinguishes it when I see you.
