1. لا والذي بيته في حرمة الحرم

    وحرمة الدين والآداب والذمَم

    No, by Him whose House stands within the Sanctuary's sacred bounds,

    and by the sanctity of religion, good manners, and pledges,

  2. ما بتّ أذكر يا مذكور بعض جوى

    شوقي ووجدي لكنّي علىوجم

    I have not spent the night recounting, O remembered one, any of the burning anguish

    of my longing and passion; rather, I am silent with grief.

  3. عذري إليك انقياض الكفّ من دركي

    قضاء حقك بين النطق والقلم

    My excuse to you is my hand's giving way as I try

    to render you your due, through speech and pen.
