1. كُلُّ كَأسٍ مِن غَيرِ خَم

    رَةِ مَعناكَ لي قَدَح

    Every cup without the wine

    of your meaning is to me a mere goblet.

  2. وَسِوى ذِكرِكَ المُفَر

    رِحِ لَم يَنشَ لي فَرَح

    And apart from your gladdening remembrance,

    no joy has arisen for me.

  3. أَيُّها الغائِبُ الَّذي

    عَن حِمى القَلبِ ما نَزَح

    O absent one who

    has not departed from the heart's sanctuary,

  4. مَن يَكُن قَصدُهُ سِوا

    كَ فَقَد خابَ وَاِفتَضَح

    whoever's aim is other than

    you has failed and been disgraced.
