يا ساكن القلب لقد

ابكيت عيني بالنوى

O dweller of my heart, my eyes

Have wept with yearning

ما غبت عنه لحظةى

وهكذا دين الهوى

I have not been absent from him a moment

Such is the religion of love

قد حرم القلب بان

يمس سره السوى

The heart is forbidden

To be touched by anyone else

ولو هواك كله

بجمرة الوجد كوى

Even if your love burns it completely

With the embers of passion

ذوى الوجود ولمع

ناك عن الكل انزوى

The essence of existence and its brilliance

Withdraws from everything else for you

وقد طوى لك الهوى

قلبا ونعم ما طوى

And love has folded for you

A heart, and what a good folding!

يشرف قلبه سره

على غرامك انطوى

His heart prides itself

On being infatuated with you

متى حوى مضمونه

على الكمالات احتوى

Whenever its contents are folded

Into perfection, it contains

آه على وقت مضى

مع الحبيب في اللوا

Oh, the time that has passed

With the beloved in seclusion

اخلصت فيه نيتي

وللمحب ما نوى

In it I purified my intention

And intended for the lover what he intended
