1. يا أهيفاً جاء يسبي

    بحسنهِ كل صبّ

    O slender one who came to captivate

    Every lovesick lover with his beauty,

  2. أدنُ وحلّ بقلبي

    سلبت عقلي ولبي

    Come near and dwell in my heart.

    You stole my mind and my reason

  3. بالبعد يا رُوحَ روحي

    Through separation, O soul of my soul.

  4. حويت بالثغر ظلما

    يحميه لحظك ظلما

    You hold the lustre of teeth in your mouth;

    Your glance guards it unjustly.

  5. من لي ببدرٍ مسمى

    قد قلت للنفس لمّا

    Who can bring me a full moon so named?

    I said to myself when

  6. إن صدَّ يا روحُ روحي

    He turned away, O soul of my soul.
