1. رَمِدتْ مُقلتي اشتياقاً إليكا

    واكتسى الذُّلَّ وجهُ حِرصي عليكا

    My eye grew sore from longing for you,

    and the face of my eagerness for you was clothed in humiliation.

  2. وانقضتْ كلُّ حسرةٍ لك إلا

    حسرتي للمغيب عن ناظريكا

    And every sorrow for you has ended, except

    my sorrow at being absent from your gaze.

  3. أيها السيدُ المُحَجَّب عني

    أنت لي واقفٌ على حالتيكا

    O master, veiled from me,

    you remain the same to me in both your states.

  4. حين أبهجتَ بي الصديقَ وأشجي

    تَ عدوّي قذفتني منْ يديكا

    When you gladdened my friend through me and saddened

    my enemy, you cast me from your hands.
