يا مَنْ بِأوْصافِهِ الحَوالي

رِقِّيَ في الحُبِّ قَدْ حَوى لِي

O you whose attributes have lifted me

To the heights of love that has encompassed me

أنْوارُ وَجْناتِكَ الجَوالي

جَلَبْنَ ذا الوَجْدَ والجَوى لي

The lights of your eternal gardens

Have brought me this passion and yearning

وفي لَمَى ثغْرِكَ الدَّوا لي

لَوْ عَلَّني بِابنَةِ الدَّوالي

And in the moisture of your lips is cure for me

Had you afflicted me with the daughters of high status

هَلّا جَعَلْتَ الرِّضى نَوالي

بَدِيْلَ إيلائكَ النَّوى لي

Why did you not make contentment my lot

In place of your turning away from me

فَغايةُ السؤل والمُنى لِي

لَوْ كانَ مِنْكَ الرِّضى مَنالِي

So the ultimate wish and object of my desire

Is if your pleasure could be attained by me
