1. راحَتي في البُكاءِ حَتّى أَراكا

    إِنَّ لي مِنكَ شاغِلاً عَن سِواكا

    My solace is in weeping until I see you.

    Indeed, you occupy me to the exclusion of all others.

  2. تَعِسَ الهَجرُ وَالَّذي شَأنُهُ الهَج

    رُ مِنَ الناسِ كُلِّهِم حاشاكا

    Woe to estrangement and to anyone whose way is estrangement,

    among all people, except you.

  3. أَرشِدَنّي إِلى رِضاكَ فَإِنّي

    لَستُ أَدري ما حيلَتي في رِضاكا

    Guide me to your favor, for I

    do not know how to win your favor.

  4. وَإِذا قيلَ مَن تُحِبُّ تَخَطّا

    كَ لِساني وَأَنتَ في القَلبِ ذاكا

    And when asked, 'Whom do you love?' you are passed over

    by my tongue, though in my heart you are the one.
