يقولُ سَلا فمنِ المدنفُ

ومن عينهُ أبداً تذرِفُ

The one whose eyelids are constantly wet,

And whose eyes are always shedding tears,

ومن قلبُهُ قلقٌ خافِقٌ

إليكَ وأحشاؤهُ ترجِفُ

With a fluttering, anxious heart,

And trembling insides towards you,

فذلك طولُ الهوى شافِعٌ

بعبرتهِ لكَ مستعطفُ

Such longing intercedes for him,

With his tears beseeching you,

ومن أنت في كل حالاته

على قلبهِ بالهوى مشرِفُ

And you who are in all his states,

Reigning supreme in his heart with love.
