1. لِلتُركِ مالي تَركُ

    ما دينُ حُبِّيَ شِركُ

    I have no possessions to leave to the Turks

    Love’s religion allows no partners

  2. أَخلَصتُ دينَ هَواهُمُ

    فَحُبُّهُم لِيَ نُسكُ

    I have devoted myself to the creed of passion

    So their love to me is an act of worship

  3. خاطَرتُ بِالنَفسِ فيهِمُ

    وَمَسلَكُ العِشقِ ضَنكُ

    I have risked my soul for their sake

    Though the path of love is narrow

  4. قَنِعتُ بِالوُدِّ مِنهُم

    إِنَّ القَناعَةُ مُلكُ

    I'm content with affection from them

    For contentment itself is a kingdom

  5. وَبي أَغَرُّ غَريرٌ

    مَلامَتي فيهِ إِفكُ

    And the one I love can do no wrong

    Though the blame is on me when we disagree

  6. بِحاجِبَيهِ وَعَينَي

    هِ لِلمُحِبّينَ هَتكُ

    His eyebrows and eyes

    Are ruin to lovers like me

  7. حَواجِبٌ وَعُيونٌ

    لَها بِقَلبي فَتكُ

    Eyebrows and eyes

    That pierce my heart

  8. كَالقَوسِ يُصمي وَهَذي

    تَشكي المُحِبَّ وَيَشكو

    He turns away, silent, while I

    Complain of love, and doubt.
