مُسْتَهامٌ دَمْعُهُ سَافِحُ

بَيْنَ جَفْنَيْهِ هَوىً قادِحُ

With tears flowing down his cheeks

And passion burning between his eyelids

كُلَّما أَمَّ سَبيلَ الهُدى

عافَهُ السانِحُ وَالبارِحُ

Whenever he finds the path of guidance

Both reproacher and carper avoid him

حلَّ فيما بَيْنَ أعدائِهِ

وَهْوَ عَنْ أحْبابِهِ نازِحُ

He makes peace among his enemies

While he separates from his loved ones

أَيُّها القادِحُ نارَ الهوى

اصْلَها يا أَيُّها القادِحُ

O you who kindles the fire of passion

Fuel it, O kindler of the fire
