يا سيداً ظل فرداً في سيادته

يخشى ويرجى لدفع الحادث الجللِ

O master who remains alone in his mastery

He fears and hopes to ward off the momentous event

الشوق ينهضني والعدم يقُعدني

فمن شناك به ما بي من الخللِ

Yearning raises me up and non-existence seats me

So who can blame me for my shortcomings
