1. سَبْعٌ لِيَ اليَوْمَ أيا بُغْيَتي

    لَم يَبْدُ لي مَنْظَرُكَ الأسْعَدُ

    Today marks seven nights, O my heart's desire,

    without a glimpse of your most blessed countenance.

  2. ماذا الجفاءُ اللهَ في مُغْرَمٍ

    أدْمُعُهُ مِنْ لَوْعَةٍ تَنْفَدُ

    Why this coldness? Fear God in your treatment of a lover

    whose tears run dry from burning anguish.

  3. أيَظْهَرُ البَدْرُ عَلى بُعْدِهِ

    وأنتَ بالقُرْبِ ولا تُسْعِدُ

    Does the full moon appear despite its distance,

    while you are near, yet bring me no joy?
