حبّ آل النبيّ خالط لحمي

كاختلاط الضيا بماء العيون

My love for the Prophet's family intermingles with my flesh

As water intermingles with the pupil of the eye.

وسرى في أعضاء جسمي كروحي

وجرى في مسامعي فاعذروني

It flowed through my body parts like my soul,

And streamed through my hearing, so pardon me.

أنا والله مغرمٌ في هواهم

بتّ في حبّهم حليف الشجون

By God, I am infatuated with their love,

I have become an intimate friend of grief in their love.

يا رفاقي إنّي عليل التصابي

علّلوني بذكرهم علّلوني

O my friends, I am lovesick,

Make me sick with the mention of them, make me sick.
