1. قد طال منك الجفاء

    وقل مني العزاء

    Your coldness has lasted long,

    and my solace has dwindled.

  2. يا أكمل الناس حسناً

    لك السنى والسناء

    O most perfect of people in beauty,

    yours are radiance and glory.

  3. رفقاً على مستهامٍ

    قد ضاع منه الذكاء

    Be gentle with one crazed with love,

    who has lost his wits,

  4. نحيل جسم كئيبٍ

    قد مله الجلساء

    thin of body and sorrowful,

    whose companions have wearied of him.

  5. آه ولو كنت تدري

    أن الغرام فناء

    Ah, if only you knew

    that passion is annihilation,

  6. ما كنت تجفوا محباً

    وفاعلاً ما تشاء

    you would not spurn a lover,

    nor one who does whatever you wish.

  7. فارفق بمن بك مقرى

    وقد أتاك الهناء

    So be gentle with one enthralled by you [reading uncertain],

    for happiness has come to you.
