1. مَغيبُك في الأُسبوعِ يَومين عَن شَجٍ

    وَيَومين بُعدٌ قاتِلٌ لِلشَجي الصَبِّ

    Your absence from a sorrowing lover for two days each week,

    And two days more, is a separation fatal to the sorrowing, lovesick one.

  2. وَهَبكَ بِقَلبي حاضِراً فَلِمُقلَتي

    بِرُؤيَتِكَ الأنسُ المريحُ مِن الكَربِ

    And grant that you are present in my heart; still, my eye finds

    In seeing you the solace that relieves distress.

  3. وِمِن نورِكَ الوَهّاجِ تَسري أَشعَّةٌ

    لِعَيني فَيَسري النور مِنها إِلى قَلبي

    And from your blazing light, rays stream

    To my eye, and from it the light flows to my heart.
