1. آه من العشق وحالاته

    وصدمة الهجر وآفاته

    Ah, for love and all its vicissitudes,

    for the shock of abandonment and its torments;

  2. وآه من لاهب يوم النوى

    احرق قلبي بحرارته

    and ah, for the scorching blaze of separation’s day—

    it has burned my heart with its heat.

  3. لم تنظر العين الى غيركم

    لولاح بدرا في سماواته

    My eye has never looked upon anyone but you,

    even if another shone like a full moon in his heavens.

  4. عمياء الا عن سنا حسنكم

    اقسم بالله وآياته

    It is blind to all but the radiance of your beauty—

    I swear by God and by His signs.
