خداك تفاحي وريقُك راحي

حسبي ويوم رضاك يوم فلاحي

Your apples and your leafy branch are my remedy

My sufficiency is your consent, and the day of your approval is the day of my prosperity

يا من تعلقت القلوبُ بذكره

كتعلُّق الأجسام بالأرواحِ

O He whom hearts are attached to with His mention

Like the attachment of bodies to souls

يا جارحاً قلبي بخنجر لحظِهِ

صَيِّر وصالك مرهماً لجراحي

O He who wounds my heart with the dagger of His glance

Make your union a balm for my wounds

يا مازحاً بالهجر هجرُك قاتلي

والقتلُ ليس مزاحهُ بمزاحِ

O He who jokes with estrangement, your estrangement kills me

And killing is not a joke to be joked with
