1. أَيُّها المنحطّ عَنّي مجلسا

    وَلَهُ في النَفس أَعلى مَجلِسِ

    O you whose seat is lower than mine,

    yet who hold the highest seat within my soul,

  2. بِفؤادي لك حُبُّ يَقتَضي

    أَن تُرى تُحمَلُ فَوقَ الأرؤسِ

    in my heart is a love for you that demands

    that you be seen borne above people's heads.
