1. أَيا مَن حُسنُهُ عُذرُ اِشتِياقي

    وَيَحسُنُ سوءُ حالي في سِواهُ

    O you whose beauty excuses my longing,

    And my wretched state seems fair in anyone else.

  2. أَعِنّي بِالوِصالِ فَدَتكَ نَفسي

    فَقَد بَلَغَ الهَوى بي مُنتَهاهُ

    Help me through union—may my soul be your ransom—

    For love has carried me to its utmost limit.
