علامَةُ حُبِّكُمْ قلبٌ لَهيفٌ

وعينٌ قد يعَلِّلُها البُكاءُ

The mark of my love for you is a blazing heart,

And eyes that weeping may allege as their excuse,

وجسمٌ من تباعُدِكُمْ نَحيلٌ

عليه من السَّقامِ لكم رِداءُ

A body made thin by your absence,

Upon it is the garment of sickness for you as its sign,

وفكرٌ عندكُمْ ما فيه إِلاَّ

حديثُكُمُ المُسَلْسَلُ والوَفاءُ

Thoughts wherein is nothing but

Your continual conversation and loyalty,

ونُطقٌ عن سِواكُمْ ذو انْعِقادٍ

وفيكُمْ كلُّ حاصِلِهِ الثَّناءُ

Speech, without you, held in check,

And in you is the whole of its intent and praise,

وسِرٌّ عنكُمُ راضٍ بصِدقٍ

صَدوقُ الحُبِّ شيمتُهُ الرِّضاءُ

A secret, without you, content in truth,

The trait of the sincere lover is satisfaction.
