1. وَدَّدتُ وَبَيتِ اللَهِ في الحُبِّ أَنَّني

    قَدَرتُ عَلى ما تَقدِرينَ مِنَ الصَبرِ

    I wished, by the House of God, that in love I

    could muster the patience you can muster;

  2. فَلَم تَكُ أَنفاسي عَلَيكِ كَثيرَةً

    وَلَم يَكُ مِن عَيني عَلَيكِ دَمٌ يَجري

    then my sighs for you would not have been so many,

    nor would blood have flowed from my eye for you.
