1. يا قاتل الب ولا واقي

    لا ترض باللَه بانفاقي

    O slayer of [the mind]—and no protector!

    Do not, by God, consent to my destruction.

  2. عيناك قد قادت إلي الردى

    فالقلب محتاجٌ إلى راق

    Your two eyes have brought death to me;

    So the heart needs one who heals with incantations.

  3. لولاك والرحمن ما كنت من

    يحسب في جملة عشاق

    Were it not for you, by the Merciful, I would not have been one who

    is counted among lovers.

  4. قد لذغت صدغاك قلبي فهل

    تنعم للذع بدرياق

    Your two temple-locks have stung my heart; will you

    kindly bestow an antidote for the sting?
