1. طرف من لا ينامُ أينَ رقادك

    أذهبتهُ صبابةٌ تقتادك

    O eye of the sleepless, where is your slumber?

    Ardent longing that leads you has banished it.

  2. بدنٌ ليس ينجلي السقم عنهُ

    ما جنى بالهَوى عليكَ فؤادك

    A body from which sickness does not depart

    is what your heart has brought upon you through love.

  3. كيفَ تسلو أم كيفَ يُسعدك الصب

    رُ وفي كفِّ من تحبُّ قيادك

    How can you forget, or how can patience help you,

    when your reins are in the hand of the one you love?

  4. طالَ منكَ الهَوى ومنهُ التجني

    كيفَ إمساكه وكيفَ اجتهادك

    Your love has lasted long, and so have his unjust reproaches.

    How he holds back, and how you strive!
