English rendering of the meaning. The Arabic text is the original; this translation does not reproduce its metre or rhyme.

May I never be deprived of seeing you or being close to you, springtime of my heart, its flowers and its shade.

I have found every kind of beauty in you. How beautiful you are, with your gentle soul.

When you are away, your image never leaves me. I wander through a world of thoughts of you and welcome you there.

My lifelong love, how much you have given me. My heart cannot be troubled while you stand beside it.

Even if our circumstances do not align, we will not part, however hard our nights become.

To defend my love, you draw your swords against others. You are my heart; it has no companion but you.

The tenderness I felt in your hands was the expression of your delicate feelings.

Every secret word I keep is made from your letters. Once a lover falls in love, it is beyond their choosing.
