يا شِفائي إذا السَّقامُ تولَّى

وضِيائي إِن أَعتَمَ الحَظُّ عَيني

O my remedy when illness comes upon me,

And my light when misfortune darkens my eyes.

أَنْتَ رُوحي حَياةُ قالَبِ كَوْني

أَنْتَ كَنْزي ما زُلتَ عن كلِّ عَينِ

You are my soul, the life of my body's mold,

You are my treasure, hidden from every eye.

طَلَبَتْ سِرَّكَ الحوادِثُ منِّي

قلتُ سِرِّي بينَ الحَبيبِ وبَيْني

Events have asked your secret of me,

I said, "My secret is between my lover and me."
