1. يا فوق ما يسمو لجاج الهوى

    ويطمح الوجد ويبغى الهيام

    O you above all that love's insistence can rise to,

    And yearning aspires to and passion seeks,

  2. إلطف بعشاقك وارفق بهم

    فقد طغى الحسنُ وجار الغرام

    Be gentle with your lovers and kind to them,

    For beauty has grown tyrannical, and love has been unjust.
