أَغارُ عَلَيكِ مِن قَلبي إِذا ما

رَآكِ وَقَد نَأَيتِ وَما أَراكِ

I become jealous of you from my heart whenever

He sees you and you are distant, though I do not see you,

وَطَيفي حينَ نُمتُ فَباتَ لَيلاً

يَسيرُ وَلَم أَسِر حَتّى أَتاكِ

And my specter, when I sleep, spends the night travelling

And I did not travel until I reached you,

وَغَيثاً جادَ رَبعاً مِنكِ قَفراً

أَلَيسَ كَما بَكَيتُكِ قَد بَكاكِ

And rain pouring generously on an arid desert from you

Is it not as if I cried for you and you cried for me?

وَمِن عَينِ الرَسولِ وَمِن كِتابٍ

إِذا ما فُضَّ مَسَّتهُ يَداكِ

And from the eye of the Prophet and from a book

When you touched it with your hands,

وَمِن طَرَفِ القَضيبِ مِنَ الإِراكِ

إِذا أَعطَيتِهِ يا شُرَّ فاكِ

And from the tip of a branch from al-Irak

When you gave it, O evil relief!
