زِدْني بفَرْطِ الحُبّ فيك تَحَيُّرا“
وارْحَمْ حشىً بلَظَى هواكَ تسعّرا
وإذا سألتُك أن أراكَ حقيقةً
فاسمَحْ ولا تجعلْ جوابي لن تَرى
يا قلبُ أنتَ وعدْتَني في حُبّهم
صَبراً فحاذرْ أن تَضِيقَ وتَضجرا
إنَّ الغرامَ هوَ الحياةُ فمُتْ بِهِ
صَبّاً فحقّك أن تَموتَ وتُعذرا
قُل لِلّذِينَ تقدَّموا قَبلي ومَن
بَعدي ومَن أضحى لأشجاني يَرَى
عنّي خذوا وبي اقْتدوا
وتحدّثوا بصَبابتي بَينَ الوَرى
ولقد خَلَوْتُ مع الحَبيب وبَيْنَنَا
سِرٌّ أرَقّ منَ النّسيمِ إذا سرى
فَدُهِشْتُ بينَ جمالِهِ وجَلالِهِ
ورأيت كلّ الحُسْنِ فيه مُصَوَّرا
Overwhelm me with Your love, so I’m lost in its flame,
Have mercy on a heart that burns with passion’s name.
And if I dare to ask: “May I behold You, true?”
Then grant me that, and not a “You shall never view.”
O heart, you swore you’d bear their love with grace—
So falter not, nor sigh, nor leave your place.
For love alone is life—so let it take your breath,
Die in its arms, and earn a noble death.
Say to those who came before, and those yet near,
And all who see the sorrows I hold dear:
Take me as your guide, and learn from what I bear,
Speak of my longing—spread it everywhere.
I was alone with the Beloved one still night,
And shared a secret softer than the breeze in flight.
I stood in awe of beauty wrapped in might,
And saw all loveliness in Him unite“.
