1. يا جبينَ القَمرِ التَمِّ

    ويا قدَّ القضيبِ

    O brow of the full moon,

    And O figure of a slender bough,

  2. والذي أمرض جسمي

    في الهوى وهْوَ طبيبي

    And you who made my body ill

    With love, though you are my physician,

  3. لا تُطلْ هجران صَبٍّ

    مغرم القلب كثيبِ

    Do not prolong your shunning of a lovesick man,

    Love-stricken at heart and sorrowful.

  4. فلَقدْ طالَ لطُول الهجْرِ

    حُزني ونَحيبي

    For long estrangement has prolonged

    My grief and my sobbing.

  5. واعتراني الشكّ هَلْ

    أنتَ عدوّي أم حبيبي

    And doubt has seized me: are

    You my enemy or my beloved?
