بَلغ النَوى مني مُناهُ

وَالشَوق جاوَزَ مُنتَهاهُ

My longing has reached its end

And my passion has gone beyond its limit

فَعل الغَريب بِنَفسِهِ

ما لَيسَ تَفعَلَهُ عِداهُ

The stranger has done to himself

What his enemies could not do

يَبكي وَيبكيهِ الحَبيب

وَلَيسَ يَنفَعَهُ بُكاءُ

He cries and his beloved cries for him

But crying is of no use to him

أَهلاً بِطَيف طارق

زادَ الرَدى عَني سَراهُ

Welcome, image of one visiting at night

Whose arrival has increased my distress

أَهلاً بِطَيف زائر

كَشَفَ الدُجى عَني سَناهُ

Welcome, image of one visiting

Whose brightness has dispelled my gloom

يَحظى بِهِ القَلب المُشو

ق وَمُقلَتي لَيسَت تَراهُ

The ardent heart enjoys it

While my eyes cannot see it

حَيّا فَأَحيا في الكَرى

فَقَضى عَلَيَّ الإِنتِباهُ

It came to life and brought life to my body

Then it destroyed my alertness
