1. بروحي من أغرى الفؤاد لحبه

    فقلبي به صب ودمعي له صب

    My soul be ransom for him who lured my heart to love him.

    So my heart is lovesick for him, and my tears pour forth for him.

  2. وإني لمعذور على صبوتي به

    ومن ذا برى هذا الجمال ولا يصبو

    And surely I am excused for my longing for him.

    And who fashioned this beauty yet does not yearn?

  3. وقال اراك بسر مستوعيك سراً

    مخافة ان تسر إلى مريب

    And he said, “I see you with a secret; I entrust you with a secret,

    For fear that you might confide in someone suspect.”

  4. انم من السؤال على عديم

    ومن دوم السفار على غريب

    More revealing than begging from someone destitute,

    And than continual travel for a stranger.
