فإن فرّطَتْ فيك الحياةُ جهالةً

فما فرّطتْ روحُ المحبّ المتيّمِ

If life has neglected you out of ignorance,

The loving soul who is infatuated has not neglected you.

هلمّ لتسكنَ الفؤادَ فإنّه

بما لكَ منهُ جنةٌ لم تُعَلَّمِ

Come and make the heart your home, for it is to you

A paradise that has no match.

فإنْ ظفرتْ بك السماءُ جنانُها

فصِلْ جنّتي حتّى توافيكَ وارحمِ

If the heavens have made you happy with their gardens,

Then grant me your paradise until you return, and have mercy.
