1. منيتي مذ رام هجري

    وبدا لي منه حرب

    My heart's desire, since he sought to forsake me,

    And his hostility became apparent to me,

  2. رام لي ذنبا فاذ لم

    قال هل أنت محب

    Sought a fault in me; and when he found none,

    Said, “Are you in love?”

  3. قلت إني لك صب

    ليس عن حباك يصبو

    I said, “Indeed, I am lovesick for you,

    Never turning away from your favors.

  4. وبحبي أستغيث

    فأغثنى يا محب

    And by my love I plead for help;

    So help me, O lover!”
