1. أَطَعتُ أَمرَ الهَوى فيكُم بِمَعصِيَتي

    مِن غَيرِ ما غِرَّةٍ عَنكُم نُهى الناهي

    I obeyed passion's command concerning you by defying

    the admonisher's counsel, not in ignorance of you.

  2. المالُ وَالجاهُ عِندي في مَحَبَّتِكُم

    مَن ذا يَزهَدُني في المالِ وَالجاهِ

    For me, wealth and rank lie in loving you.

    Who could make me renounce wealth and rank?

  3. وَهَل يُغَيِّرُ لُبّي عَنكُم سَفَهُ ال

    لاحي وَحُبّي لَكُم وَاللَهِ في اللَهِ

    And can my mind be turned from you by the folly of the

    faultfinder, when, by God, my love for you is in God?
