1. أَيا طَيلَسانِيَ أَعيَبتَ طِبّي

    أَسِلٌّ بِجِسمِكَ أَم داءُ حُبِّ

    O my cloak, you have baffled my medical skill.

    Is there consumption in your body, or lovesickness?

  2. وَيا ريحُ صَيَّرَتني أَتَّقيكَ

    وَقَد كُنتُ لا أَتَّقي أَن تَهُبّي

    And O wind, you have made me fear you,

    Though I used not to fear your blowing.

  3. وَمُستَخبِرٍ خَبَرَ الطَيلَسانِ

    فُقُلتُ لَهُ الروحُ مِن أَمر رَبّي

    And when someone asked about the cloak's condition,

    I said to him, "The spirit is by my Lord's command."
