1. غَرَامِيَ فِيْكُمْ مَا أَلَّذَّ وَأَطْيَبا

    وَفِي حُبِّكُمْ أَهْلاً بِسُقمِي وَمَرْحَبا

    My passion for you—how sweet and delightful it is!

    And in loving you: welcome, my sickness, welcome!

  2. غَزَالُكُمُ ذَاكَ المَصُونُ جَمَالُهُ

    إلَى غَيْرِهِ فِي الحُبِّ قَلْبِيَ مَا صَبا

    That gazelle of yours, whose beauty is guarded—

    My heart has inclined in love to no one but him.

  3. تَجَلَّى عَلى كُلِّ العُيونِ فَعِنْدَمَا

    سَبَى حُسْنُهُ كُلَّ القُلُوبِ تَحَجَّبا

    He revealed himself to every eye; then, when

    His beauty captured every heart, he veiled himself.

  4. أَأَحْبَابَنَا هَلْ عَابِدٌ فِي حَمِاكُمُ

    أَوَيْقَاتِ وَصْلٍ كُلُّهَا زَمَنُ الصِّبا

    O our beloveds, is there a worshipper in your sanctuary?

    Brief moments of union, all of them the days of youth.
