1. رَحَلَ الواشونَ عَنّا

    شَكَرَ اللَهُ المَطايا

    The tale-bearers have departed from us.

    May God reward the riding beasts!

  2. فَظَفِرنا بِوِصالٍ

    غَفَلَت عَنهُ البَرايا

    So we attained union,

    Of which humankind was unaware.

  3. خَرَجَت تِلكَ الأَحادي

    ثُ الَّتي كانَت خَبايا

    Those tales came to light,

    Which had lain hidden.

  4. وَاِستَرَحنا مِن عِتابٍ

    في الخَبايا وَالزَوايا

    And we found respite from reproach

    In hiding places and corners.

  5. وَأَتَتنا رُسُلُ الأَح

    بابِ مِنهُم بِالهَدايا

    And the loved ones' messengers came to us,

    From them, bearing gifts.

  6. وَعَلى رُغمِ الأَعادي

    فَلَقَد تَمَّت قَضايا

    And in spite of the enemies,

    Matters were indeed brought to completion

  7. بِوِصالٍ مِن حَبيبٍ

    كَرُمَت مِنهُ السَجايا

    Through union with a beloved

    Whose character was noble,

  8. وَمُدامٍ مِن رُضابٍ

    وَحَبابٍ مِن ثَنايا

    And wine from sweet saliva,

    And bubbles from front teeth.

  9. كانَ ما كانَ وَمِنهُ

    بَعدُ في النَفسِ بَقايا

    What happened happened, and of it

    Traces still remain in the soul.

  10. قالوا كَبِرتَ عَنِ الصِبا

    وَقَطَعتَ تِلكَ الناحِيَه

    They said, "You have outgrown youth

    And left that realm behind."
