يأيها المعشوقُ بالله مَن

صَفَّر بالهجران نَيْلَوْفَرَكْ

O beloved, by God who

Has yellowed your narcissus with separation

فقال واسترجع في قوله

غَيّرني الحبُّ كما غَيَّركْ

So he said and regained in his words

Love has changed me as it changed you

لم يَتَّرِكْ لي عشقُ شمسِ الضّحى

لَوْناً لو تَارَكْتُه ما تَرَكْ

The love of the morning sun left me

No color, had I left it, it would not have left

صُفوةُ وجهي ترجمانُ الهوى

فِيَّ ونَبْتِي في جَوابي البِرك

The essence of my face is the interpreter of love

In me and my growth in my blessed answer
