قد بَرَّح الشوقُ بمشتاقك

قد بَرَّح الشوقُ بمشتاقك

فأَولِهِ أحسنَ اخلاقك

فأَولِهِ أحسنَ اخلاقك

Longing has sorely tormented the one who longs for you.

Longing has set out to your admirer

So show him the best of your character.

So treat it with your finest manners

لا تَجفُهُ وارعَ له حقَّهُ

لا تَجفُهُ وارعَ له حقَّهُ

فإنه خاتِمُ عُشَّاقِك

فإنه خاتِمُ عُشَّاقِك

Do not spurn him, and honor his due.

Do not spurn it or deny its due

For he is the last of your lovers.

For it is the seal of your admirers
