1. الشوقُ يبلي شبابي

    والعشقُ غضّ جديدُ

    Longing wears out my youth,

    While love is tender and new.

  2. ودمعُ عيني بالجو

    دِ ناطقٌ وشهيدُ

    And my eye's tears, in their bounty,

    Speak and bear witness.

  3. ليت الزمانَ أتاني

    بما يسوءُ الحسودُ

    If only time would bring me

    What vexes the envious one.

  4. طوبى لمن عاش يوما

    وليسَ فيه صدودُ

    Blessed is whoever has lived a day

    In which there is no rejection.
