لنصر فى فؤادى فرط حب

ينيف به على كل الصحاب

Victory in my heart excessive love

Where I yearn for it over all friends

أتيناه فبخرنا بخورا

من السعف المدخن بالتهاب

We came to it, so we burned incense

Of palm leaves smoked with fire

فقمت مبادرا وحسبت نصرا

يريد بذاك طردى أو ذهابى

So I got up taking initiative and thought it was a victory

He wanted with that to expel or banish me

فقال متى أراك أبا حسين

فقلت له اذا اتسخت ثيابى

So he said when do I see you, oh Abu Hussein

So I said to him, when my clothes get dirty
