1. يا نسيم الصبا بلطفك رنح

    ارض حبي واحمل سلامي اليه

    O breeze of the east wind, gently sway

    the land of my beloved, and carry my greeting to him.

  2. ما رأيت البدر الملألأ للا

    وقرات السلام وجدا عليه

    I never saw the glittering full moon without

    reciting greetings to him in longing.

  3. بعدت داره ولكن قلبي

    ابدا كامل الحضور لديه

    His dwelling is far away, yet my heart

    is always wholly present with him.

  4. عجبا في فروق قالب جسمي

    وفؤادي القريح بين يديه

    How strange! My body's frame is in separation,

    while my wounded heart is before him.

  5. ما شربت الراح القديم لعمري

    ابد العمر غير من شفتيه

    By my life, I have never drunk the aged wine

    in all my life except from his lips.

  6. وحقيقاً لم ادعج النرجس ال

    ض وعلياء غير من عينيه

    And truly, I did not darken the narcissus [incomplete text],

    [unclear fragment] and loftiness, save from his eyes.

  7. وبوجد ما رحت انتشق الور

    د دموي من مزلفي مجنته

    And in longing I did not go to breathe in the rose—

    blood-red, from [unclear word] his shield [sense uncertain].
