1. لا بارَكَ اللَهُ فيمَن

    يَصُدُّ عَن بَرَكاتِ

    May God not bless whoever

    turns away from Barakat.

  2. غُصنٌ أَذاقَ لَحاظي

    حَلاوَةَ الحَرَكاتِ

    A bough who made my glances taste

    the sweetness of movement.

  3. لَهُ صَحيفَةُ وَجهٍ

    خَلّابَةَ الأَلِفاتِ

    His face is a page

    with bewitching alif letters.

  4. وَلائِمٍ لِيَ فيهِ

    عَلى الحَبيبِ المَواتي

    And one who reproached me for him,

    for the willing beloved—

  5. سارَرتُهُ بِحَياتي

    إِن لُمتَني في حَياتي

    I whispered to him, “By my life,

    if you reproach me for my life,

  6. ما يَحسُنُ الصَبرَ عَمَّن

    هَواهُ مِن حَسَناتي

    it is not fitting to bear separation from one

    my love for whom is among my good deeds.”
