1. أَيُّهَا الهاجِرُ حَدّثْ

    نِيَ مَا أَوْجَبَ هَجْرَكْ

    O you who forsake me, tell

    me what has caused your estrangement.

  2. ما الَّذي لَوْ جُدْتَ بِالوَصْ

    لِ حَبيبي كانَ ضَرَّكْ

    What harm, had you granted me union,

    would it have done you, my beloved?

  3. أَيُّها الصَّابِرُ عَنِّي

    لَيتني أُعْطِيتُ صَبْرَكْ

    O you who can bear being without me,

    would that I had been given your patience!

  4. أَيُّها الجَاهِلُ قَدْرِي

    أَنا لا أَجْهَلُ قَدْرَكْ

    O you who do not know my worth,

    I am not ignorant of your worth.

  5. أَيُّها الشاغِلُ أَسْرا

    رِيَ ما أَفْرَغَ سِرَّكْ

    O you who fill my secret thoughts,

    how empty of care your own heart is!

  6. يا مُحيَّاهُ أنارَ ال

    لَهُ في العَالمِ بَدْرَكْ

    O face of his, may God make

    your full moon shine in the world.

  7. قَدْ يَئِسْنَا مِنْكَ خَيْراً

    فَكفانا اللَّهُ شرَّكْ

    We have despaired of any good from you;

    so may God spare us your evil.
