يا فُؤادي أنتَ غائِب

حاضِرٌ بينَ الحَبائبْ

O my heart, you are absent

Yet present among the loved ones

قمتَ بالضِّدَّينِ تزهُو

هذه بعضُ العَجائِبْ

You have taken to opposites, exulting

Such are some wonders

أنتَ مطلوبٌ ولكنْ

في طريقِ الحُبِّ طالِبْ

You are sought but

On the path of love, a seeker

فاعْمَ دهراً عن سِواهُمْ

ولهمْ ما عِشْتَ راقِبْ

So shun others for an age

And for them, watch as long as you live

واقْصِرِ الأَمرَ عليهمْ

فبِهِمْ نيلُ المَواهِبْ

And focus on them alone

For through them come gifts

كلُّ مَنْ لم يرْوِ عنهم

هو في الدَّارَيْنِ كاذِبْ

All who speak not of them

In both worlds are liars
