1. قَلبِي بِدَاءِ الهَوَى وَالحُبّ قَد تَلِفَا

    وَنَاظِري لِسُهَادِ اللَّيلِ قَد ألِفَا

    My heart has perished from the sickness of passion and love.

    And my eye has grown accustomed to the sleeplessness of night.

  2. فَلاَ تُعَذّب بِطُولِ الهَجرِ قلبَ شَجٍ

    عَذَابُ مِحنَتِهِ قَبلَ الصُّدُودِ كَفَى

    So do not torment a grieving heart with prolonged estrangement;

    The anguish of its ordeal before your rejection was enough.

  3. إن كُنتَ تَرضَى حَبيبَ القَلب تَعذِبَتِي

    فَإنَّ قَلبِي يَرَى تَعذِيبَكُم شَرفَا

    If, beloved of my heart, you are pleased by my torment,

    Then my heart deems your torment of me an honor.

  4. يا رَاحَةَ النفس يَا أنس القُلُوبِ وَيَا

    قوت الفؤاد وَيَا صَفواً لِمَن عَرَفَا

    O solace of the soul, O comfort of hearts, and O

    Sustenance of the heart, and O pure delight for those who know.

  5. إن كُنتُ أذنَبتُ هَا قَد جِئتُ مُعتَرِفاً

    وَقَد عَفَا اللهُ عَن ذاكَ الَِّذِي سَلَفَا

    If I have sinned, behold, I have come confessing,

    And God has forgiven what has gone before.
