يجورُ على قَلبي هَوىً وَيُجيرُ

وَيأمُرني إِنَّ الحَبيبَ أَميرُ

He imposes love on my heart and provides refuge,

And commands me that the beloved is the master.

أَطوعُ لأمرِ الحُبِّ طَوعَ مُسلِّمٍ

وَإِن كانَ مِن شأني إِباً وَنُفورُ

I obey the command of love with the obedience of a Muslim,

Even if it is in my nature to resist and shy away.

أَغارُ عَلَيهِ مِن لِحاظي صِيانَةً

وَأكرِمُهُ إِنَّ المُحِبَّ غَيورُ

I am jealous over him from my glances to protect,

And I honor him for the lover is jealous.

أَخِفُّ عَلى لُقيا الحَبيبِ وَإِنَّني

لَعَمرُكَ في كُلِّ الأُمورِ وَقورُ

I am shy about meeting the beloved although I

By your life, am dignified in all matters.
