1. أبداً بذكرك تنقضي أوقاتي

    ما بين سماري وفي خلواتي

    My hours always pass in remembrance of you,

    Among my evening companions and in my solitary hours.

  2. يا واحد الحسن البديع لذاته

    أنا واحد الأحزان فيك لذاتي

    O you, peerless in beauty, wondrous in your very essence,

    I am peerless in sorrow for you, in my very essence.

  3. وبحبك اشتغلت حواسي مثلما

    بجمالك امتلأت جميع جهاتي

    And my senses are absorbed in love for you, just as

    Every direction around me is filled with your beauty.

  4. حسبي من اللذات فيك صبابة

    عندي اشتغلت بها عن اللذات

    Of all pleasures, ardent longing for you suffices me—

    I harbor it, absorbed in it to the neglect of pleasures.

  5. ورضاي أني فاعلٌ برضاك ما

    تختار من محوي ومن إثباتي

    And my contentment is to do, with your approval, whatever

    You choose—my effacement or my affirmation.

  6. حاسبت أنفاسي فلم أر واحداً

    منها خلا وقتاً من الأوقات

    I took account of my breaths and found not a single one

    Among them that was ever empty, even for a moment.
