1. يا قلب للشوق في أَحشاك نيرانُ

    هَلّا تخفّفها بالدمعِ أَجفانُ

    O heart, there are fires of longing within your depths.

    Will not eyelids lessen them with tears?

  2. ويا احبّايَ قد اضحت محبتنا

    كأَنَّها لم تكن وَالدَهرُ نسيانُ

    And O my beloveds, our love has become

    as though it had never been; time is forgetfulness.

  3. لقد اسأنا اليكم في محبتنا

    لكم فصفحٌ احبائي وغفرانُ

    Indeed, we have wronged you in our love

    for you; so grant pardon and forgiveness, my beloveds.

  4. علَّمتمونا القلا والبعضَ بعدكمُ

    فَذاكَ في شرعكم خَيرٌ واحسانُ

    You taught us aversion and hatred [apparently intended; the text reads 'some'] after your departure;

    and that, in your law, is goodness and kindness.
