1. أراني جمعي من فنائي تقرباً

    وهيهات إلا منك عنك التقرب

    My union showed me nearness through my annihilation.

    Yet nearness apart from You is impossible, save through You.

  2. فما عنك لي صبر ولا فيك حيلة

    ولا منك لي بد ولا عنك مهرب

    For I have no patience apart from You, nor any stratagem concerning You.

    Nor can I do without You, nor is there any escape from You.

  3. تقرب قوم بالرجا فوصلتهم

    فما لي بعيداً منك والكل يعطب

    Some people drew near through hope, so You granted them union.

    So why am I far from You, while all perish?
