يا مُرتَحِلاً إِلى المُصَلّى غَلَسا

إِن جُزتَ بِساكِنِ الحِمى قِف نَفَسا

O traveler to the mosque with haste,

If you meet the dweller of passion's abode then stop and rest,

بِاللَهِ وَعَرِّض بِغَرامي فَعَسا

تَستَعطِفُ قَلبَهُ فَقَد قيلَ قَسا

For God's sake put my love before him, mayhap

My longing will soften his hardened heart, so it's said.
