  1. حُبٌّ لأَحْمَدَ قَدْ فَشَا

    بَيْنَ الْجَوانِحِ والْحَشَا

    Love for Ahmad has spread

    Among the passions and wilderness

  2. يَهْتَزُّ فِي حَرَكَاتِهِ

    مِثْلَ الْقَضِيبِ إِذَا مَشَا

    It trembles in his movements

    Like a rod when it walks

  3. خَدَّاهُ مِنْ بردِ الدُّجَى

    وَالْمُقْلَتَانِ مِنَ الرَّشَا

    His cheeks were made pale by the cold of early morning dew

    And his eyelids by staying up late

  4. لَمَّا ظَفِرْتُ بِوَصْلِهِ

    وَمَلَكْتُ مِنْهُ مَا أشَا

    When I gained union with him

    And possessed what I desired

  5. أَحْلَى الْبَرِّيةِ أَوْ عَلَى

    عَيْنِ الَّذي يَهْوَى غِشَا

    It was sweeter than rain in the desert or upon

    The eye of one who desires a glimpse

  6. وتَنَاوَمَتْ عَيْنُ الرَّقِي

    بِ لَحَثِّ أَقْدَاحِ الْوِشَا

    And the eye of the watcher took turns

    With the bubbles of cups of wine

  7. وفَشَا الحَدِيثُ بِحُبِّنا

    والحُبُّ يَحْسُنُ إِنْ فَشَا

    The news of our love spread

    And love is beautiful when it spreads

  8. عَبَثَ الْوُشاةُ بوَصْلِنَا

    حَسَداً فقُبِّحَ مَنْ وَشَا

    The slanderers toyed with our union

    Out of envy, may he who gossiped be damned
