1. حافظ عَلى مُهجة ضاعَت فَأَنتَ بِها

    تسال مِن مُنذ خَلق الرُوح في القدمِ

    Guard a heart that has been lost, for on its account you

    Are answerable, ever since the soul was created of old.

  2. صلني وَجد بِاللَمى يا حلو مُكتسباً

    إِحياءَ صبٍّ بَراه الشَوق مِنكَ ظَمي

    Grant me union and be generous with your dusky lips, O sweet one, securing

    New life for a thirsty lover whom longing for you has wasted away.
