1. لا وَالَّذي جَعَلَ المَوَدَّةَ مانِعي

    مِن أَن أُجازي سَيِّدي بِجَفائِهِ

    No, by Him who made affection hold me back

    from repaying my lord with his own coldness.

  2. ما حَلَّتِ الأَيّامُ موثَقَ حُبِّهِ

    عِندي وَلا حالَت عُهودُ وَفائِهِ

    The days have not loosened the bond of his love

    within me, nor have his pledges of faithfulness changed.

  3. وَدَليلُ قَلبي قَلبُهُ فَوِدادُهُ

    كَوِدادِهِ وَصَفاؤُهُ كَصَفائِهِ

    And his heart is my heart's guide, so my heart's affection

    is like his affection, and its purity like his purity.
