1. سالبي بالهَجر نَومي

    طالَ في حبّكَ لَومي

    You who rob me of sleep through estrangement,

    Long have I been reproached for loving you.

  2. عُد إلى الوَصلِ ودُم تَف

    ديكَ روحي ثمَّ قَومي

    Return to union and stay—may

    my soul, then my people, ransom you.

  3. لي مِن زَفرةِ قلبي

    رَوعةٌ في كلِّ يومِ

    My heart’s sigh brings me

    terror every day.

  4. يا عَزيزَ السرِّ يغلو

    وصلُهُ الدهرَ بِسَومِ

    O you whose secret is precious—costly is

    union with you, always, in the bidding.
