عاطني من رحيق ثغرك نهله

فهي برء الفؤاد من كل علَّه

Give me a sip from the nectar of your lips,

It is the cure for my heart from all its ailments,

وارحم الوالهَ الذي زاد عشقاً

واحيِ بالوصل نفسَه المضمحله

And have mercy on the lover whose love has increased,

And give life with union to his withering soul,

وتلافى تلافَه بوصالٍ

فتلافي المحبِّ أكرمُ خلَّه

And heal his wounds with a union,

For healing a lover is the most honorable trait,

لا سباك الإله حلة ظرفٍ

ألبستني من الصبابة حلَّه

By God you have dressed me in a garment of youth

From the wardrobe of my adolescence.
