1. قد صفا ماءُ النعيمِ

    في محياهُ الوسيمِ

    The water of bliss has grown clear

    In his handsome face.

  2. قربُهُ جنةُ عدنٍ

    وتنائيهِ جَحيمي

    His nearness is the Garden of Eden,

    And his distance is my hell.

  3. كشف الليلَ سناهُ

    وانجلت عني همومي

    His radiance dispelled the night,

    And my cares have left me.

  4. يا حياتي وحمامي

    وحميمي وغريمي

    O my life and my death,

    And my intimate friend and my adversary,

  5. لم لا ترثي لصبٍ

    مغرم عان سقيم

    Why do you not pity a lovesick man,

    Enamored, captive, and ailing?

  6. رق حتى قد حكى

    رقة أنفاس النسيم

    He grew so delicate that he came to resemble

    The delicacy of the breeze's breaths.

  7. من مجيري من نصيري

    من عذيري من مليمي

    Who will protect me? Who will aid me?

    Who will excuse me? Who will blame me?
