ظبي من الزط تعلقته

فصار معشوقي ومولاي

A gazelle tethered with a rope

Has thus become my beloved and master

أحسن والإحسان لم يجمعا

في حسنٍ إلا لبلواي

Beauty and kindness were never combined

In beauty except for my trials

إذا نأت روحي عن جسمها

رد لي النأي بالناي

When my soul leaves its body

Bring near the flute to compensate my loss
