أُحِبُّكَ حُبّاً جاوَزَ الحُبَّ بَعضُهُ

وَفي طولِ عُمري لَيسَ يُمكِنُ عَرضَهُ

I love you with a love that has surpassed love itself

And in all my life it cannot be matched

وَنافِلَةً لي مِنكَ أَمسى تَهَجُّدي

بِذِكرِكَ يا مَن سُنَّةُ الحُبِّ فَرضُهُ

Extra worship for me has become my night vigil

With the mention of you, O you for whom love is an obligation

وَخالِدُ وَجدي في هَواكَ يَزيدُهُ

مِنَ الجاهِلُ اللاحي عَلى العِشقِ بُغضُهُ

And my passion for you remains and increases

From the ignorant who hates passion

وَحُقَّ لِمِثلي أَن يَهيمَ بِمِثلِ مَن

سَما كُلِّ حُسنٍ في البَرِيَّةِ أَرضُهُ

It is right for one like me to be enamored with the likes of one

Who encompasses all beauty on earth as his land
