    إذا سما تنجلي مذ حدا الحادي

  3. ذات الخال تجلّت بالحسن تختال

    هل شممتم ما جرى بأولى الندا

    Of the grieving, lovesick wanderer? And amid terrors, what did he sing?

  5. يا حنّان صبري خان هل أرى مطلوبي

    يا ربّي كن لنا والطف بنا واجعل لحالي مرشدا

    واكشف لي دائماً عمّا يهدي الناس لي الهدى

  8. كلّ الكمال حاوي وللعذّال كاوي

    بالحفا الدائم لمّا لاح كالمصباح للأرواح

    One who holds all perfection and scorches the reproachers.

    مقاماً في الحبّ إيه إيه يا محبوبي ارفق بمن

    He revived my heart through meeting, and so my state rose

    To a station in love. More, more! O my beloved, be gentle with one

    صاح لا تفقد صحوي يمضي من ذي الراح على المدى

    Who has become dust, since he spurned slumber.

    Friend, do not seek my sobriety; it vanishes through this wine for all time.
