اسمع أنينَ الفتى المحزونِ من علله

فالشوقُ أصبحَ يُدنيهِ إلى أجله

Hear the moans of the grieved youth from his ailments

For longing has brought him closer to his death

واشفِ الكئيب الذي أصبحتَ غايتَهُ

وما يُرجيهِ من دُنياهُ من أملِه

And heal the sorrowful one whom you have become his ultimate desire

And what he hopes for from his life and his dreams

يا أيها القمرُ البادي بطلعتهِ

حكى إذا اهتز ما يرتجُّ من كفلِه

O you the rising moon with your emergence

Tell when one's shoulder shakes what it implies

هل يستطيعُ محب ملَّ سيدهُ

بأن يكافِئَهُ يوماً على مللِه

Can a loyal lover ever reward his master

One day for his affection and grace
