1. أَوضَعتَ في شَأوِ الجَفا فَاِحبِسِ

    وَاِسلُك طَريقَ العَطفِ يا مُؤنِسي

    You have sped along estrangement’s course; so halt.

    And follow the path of tenderness, O my comforter.

  2. يا مَن جَرى حُبّيهِ في مُهجَتي

    جَريَ النَدى في زَهرِ النَرجِسِ

    O you, my love for whom has flowed within my heart,

    As dew flows within narcissus blossoms,

  3. عَلى مَليءٍ موسِرٍ مِن ضَنىً

    مُفتَقَرٌ مِن صِحَّةٍ مُفلِسِ

    Toward one wealthy, rich in wasting sickness,

    Impoverished in health, bankrupt.
