1. حَقُّ الَّذي يَعشَقُ نَفسينِ أَن

    يُصلَبَ أَو يُنشَر بِمِنشارِ

    One who loves two souls deserves to

    be crucified or sawn apart with a saw.

  2. وَعاشِقُ الواحِدِ مِثلُ الَّذي

    أَخلَصَ دينَ الواحِدِ الباري

    And the lover of one is like one who

    devotes his faith wholly to the One, the Creator.

  3. صَبَرتُ حَتّى ظَفَرَ السَقمُ بي

    كَم تَصبِرُ الحُلَفاءُ لِلنارِ

    I endured until sickness overcame me.

    How long can halfa grass withstand fire?

  4. لَولا رَجئي العَطفَ مِن سَيِّدي

    بَقيتُ بَينَ البابِ وَالدارِ

    Were it not for my hope of kindness from my lord,

    I would have remained between the door and the house.
