هبّت نسيم وصالكم سحراً

بحدائق للشوق في قلبى

The morning breeze of your presence blew,

In the gardens of longing within my heart,

فاهتزّ غصن العقل من طرب

وتناثرت درراً من الحب

So the branch of reason shook with joy,

And pearls of love scattered about.

وأتت خيول الهجر شامخة

مطرودة بعساكر الحجب

And the horses of separation came proudly,

Chased by the armies of the veil,

وبقيت لاشيئا أعاينه

الاّ حسبت بأنه ربى

And I was left with nothing that my eyes could see,

Except I thought that He was my Lord.
