1. مَجِلسٌ يُنسَبُ السُرورُ إِليهِ

    بِمُحِبٍّ رَيحانُهُ ذِكراكِ

    A gathering to which joy is ascribed,

    With a lover whose sweet basil is remembrance of you.

  2. كُلَّما دارَتِ الزُجاجَةُ زَادَت

    هُ اِشتِياقاً وَحُرقَةً فَبَكاكِ

    Whenever the flask went round, it increased

    His longing and burning anguish, so he wept for you.

  3. لَم يَنَلكِ الرَجاءُ أَن تَحضُريني

    وَتَجافَت أُمنِيَّتي عَن سِواكِ

    My hope that you would come to me did not reach you,

    And my wish turned away from anyone but you.

  4. فَتَمَنَّيتُ أَن يُغَشِّيَني اللَ

    هُ نُعاساً لَعَلَّ عَيني تَراكِ

    So I wished that God would cloak me

    In drowsiness, that perhaps my eye might see you.
