اللَّه يعلمُ أنني

يا سيدي أحيا بِقربِكْ

God knows that I,

My Lord, live by your nearness

كَمِدٌ على ما فات منْـ

ـك فلا بُليتَ بيوم عَتبِكْ

Dependent on what has passed from you

So I was not afflicted by a day of your reproach

وهواك شغلي عن سوا

كَ فليتني من شغل قلبِكْ

And your love preoccupied me from another

If only I preoccupied your heart
