بِحُرمَةِ حِفظي لِلوِدادِ بِخِلَّتي

بِحُرمَةِ حِفظي لِلوِدادِ بِخِلَّتي

وَصَبري بِلا مَنٍّ عَلَيكَ بِذِلَّتي

وَصَبري بِلا مَنٍّ عَلَيكَ بِذِلَّتي

By the sanctity of my preserving affection in my friendship,

By my devotion I've preserved our love, and my frugality,

And of my patience in my abasement, without holding it over you,

And my patience, expecting no favor from you, in my humility,

أَجِرني مِنَ الهِجرانِ وَاِرحَم تَحَيُّري

أَجِرني مِنَ الهِجرانِ وَاِرحَم تَحَيُّري

فَما حيلَتي عَنِ الوَصفِ مِحنَتي

فَما حيلَتي عَنِ الوَصفِ مِحنَتي

Grant me refuge from estrangement, and have mercy on my bewilderment;

Save me from estrangement, and have mercy on my confusion,

For what recourse have I? My ordeal is beyond description.

For I have no recourse nor power to describe my affliction.
