لا تَخشَ مني سُلُوّا في هَواك وإِن

زادَت بِهَجرِكَ أَسقامي وَأَمراضي

Do not fear that I will turn away from loving you, even if

My ailments and illnesses increase because you forsake me.

وَبعد هذا الضَنا بِاللَهِ يا أَملى

أساخط أَنتَ عَن مَضناك أَم راضي

After all this wasting away—by God, O my hope—

Are you displeased with your lovesick one, or pleased?
