1. من لنفسٍ زاد في الحب عناها

    لم يدع منها الهوى إلا ذماها

    Who will aid a soul whose suffering in love has grown?

    Passion has left it nothing but its last breath.

  2. ان تكن هانت على متلفها

    فلقد عز دواها وعزاها

    If it is held cheap by its destroyer,

    Its cure and consolation are indeed hard to find.

  3. أيها الركب قفوا لي توجروا

    بتلافي مهجةٍ قبل فناها

    O caravan, halt for me, and you will be rewarded

    For saving a heart before it perishes.

  4. رحلوا فجراً وفي إظعانهم

    شمس حسنٍ ليس يغشاها سواها  

    They departed at dawn, and with them went

    A sun of beauty, veiled by nothing but itself.
