1. وظبيٍ من الأتراكِ تارك مهجتي

    تموتُ وتحيا من عظيمِ فراقِهِ

    And a gazelle among the Turks leaves my soul

    to die and revive from the severity of parting from him,

  2. ومقتبضٍ قلبي بإشراكِ حبِّه

    ومنبسط دمعي دماً بانهراقِهِ

    and grips my heart in the snares of his love,

    and my tears flow freely as blood as they pour forth.

  3. أجودُ له بالروحِ لو كان باخلاً

    عليَّ مدى أوقاتِه بعناقِه

    I freely give him my soul, even if he is stingy

    with his embrace toward me throughout all his days.
