سَأَمنَعُ طَرفي أَن يَلوحَ بِنَظرَةٍ

سَأَمنَعُ طَرفي أَن يَلوحَ بِنَظرَةٍ

وَاِحجِبهُ بِالدَمعِ عَن كُلِّ مَنظَرِ

وَاِحجِبهُ بِالدَمعِ عَن كُلِّ مَنظَرِ

I shall keep my eye from casting a glance,

I will restrain my eyes from glancing

And veil it with tears from every sight.

And veil them with tears from all sights

وَاِكُر قَلبي فيكَ حُسنَ بَلائِهِ

وَاِكُر قَلبي فيكَ حُسنَ بَلائِهِ

أَلَيسَ بِهِ أَلقاكَ عِندَ التَفكيرِ

أَلَيسَ بِهِ أَلقاكَ عِندَ التَفكيرِ

And I [thank] my heart for its faithful service to you:

And bind my heart to you in its ordeal

Is it not through it that I meet you in thought?

Is it not by it I met you in contemplation
