وَمَقامَ أَربابِ الغَرامِ وَذِلَّةِ الشاكي

وَعِزَّةِ مَن إِلَيهِ المُشتَكى

The abode of lovers consumed by passion, and the humility of the plaintive one

The honor of the confidant, to whom complaints are made

وَعُقودِ عَهدِ العاشِقينَ وَمَن غَدا

بِعُرى الوُلا في عِشقِهِ مُتَمَسِّكا

The pacts of lovers, and he who holds fast

To the rope of devotion in his love

وَدِعايَةِ الداعي إِلى أَهلِ الهَوى

وَإِجابَةِ المَدعُوِّ فيهِ بِالبُكا

The invocation of the invoker to the people of passion

And the response of the called among them with weeping

ما حُلتُ عَمّا تَعهَدونَ مِنَ الوَفا

لِكُم وَلا حاوَلتُ عَنكُم مَسلَكا

I have not been unfaithful to the loyalty you pledged

To you, nor have I from you sought to turn away
