1. عاذلاتِي ارحمنَني كَما تَلُمنا

    من يفكُّ الفؤادَ إن كانَ رَهنا

    My reproachers, have mercy on me as you reproach me.

    Who can redeem the heart if it is held in pledge?

  2. جعل الشوق فوقَ خديَّ خداً

    بدموعٍ تفني عزائِي وتَفنَى

    Longing has made a furrow upon my cheeks

    With tears that consume my solace and themselves are spent.

  3. يا فُؤاداً أضحَى سَقيماً غَريباً

    عن محلٍّ ما ذاقَ عِزاً وأمنا

    O heart, grown sick and estranged

    From an abode where it tasted neither honor nor safety.

  4. طالَ حرُّ الحَشا عليكَ فقد بِن

    تَ كئيباً مُضنىً وخلَّفتَ مضنى

    Long has the inward heat weighed upon you; so you have departed—

    Grieving and worn out, leaving one worn out behind.
