1. أترى ما شكوتُ يخفى عليكا

    كنتُ والقلب كلّه في يدَيكا

    Do you think what I have complained of is hidden from you?

    I was, with all my heart, in your hands.

  2. ما بُكائي ولا حنيني ولا شو

    قي يا من أحبُّ إلا إليكا

    My weeping, my yearning, and my long-

    -ing, O you whom I love, are for you alone.

  3. أنتَ سؤلي من الأنامِ جميعاً

    والهَوى واقفٌ بِقلبي عَليكا

    You are my desire among all humankind.

    And the love in my heart is fixed upon you.

  4. لا تَسل عن سَرائري عندَ دمعٍ

    لابتلى المُبتلي بهِ عينيكا

    Do not ask about my secrets in the presence of tears—

    May he who afflicts never afflict your eyes with them.
