1. תגירת אלאיאם ואנקלב אלדהרו
2. וצאר כיאר א אנאס ליס להו
3. קדרו

1. تغيرت الايام وانقلب الدهرو
2. وصار خيار اناس ليس لهو
3. قدرو

1. The days have changed and the era has overturned
2. And the best of people have become without
3. Value

يا قديم لم يزل واحد حق
مبين: انت نعم المتكل
وانت كنز الطالبين :

Oh The Everlasting One, Who does not cease to be, the One, the Truth, the Manifest : You are the most trustworthy and You are the treasure for prayers

ولو كان للشكر شَخصاً يبين اذا مـا تامـله الناظـرُ
لمـثـلته لك حـتـى تراه فتـعـلم أَني امرٌ شاكرُ

If gratitude were a figure who could be seen by an onlooker

I would have copied it so that you might see it and know that I am a grateful person.

קד סבא עקלי
חביבי
ויח קלבי
אלכאיבי

قد سبا عقلي
حبيبي
ويح قلبي
الكئيبي

My beloved captured my mind
Woe unto my miserable heart

רוח אלמחב עלי אלאחכאם צאברה לעל מסקמהא יום ידאויהא

روح المحب على الأحكام صابرة لعل مسقمها يوم يدوايها

A lover’s soul is patient with judgements
For maybe one day he who causes its sickness would heal it

[APCG@TCD @ApcgErc]

Empty are the houses where my beloved once dwelled
Why is it that when I call, no voice responds?
Pause by the wall of the house and call out for friends.
O houses, where are the kin and companions?

[APCG@TCD @ApcgErc]

خلت الديار علي من أحبابي
مالي أنادي لا يرد جوابي
قف بالديار وناد بالاترابي
يا دار أين الأهل والأصحاب

גֿריק פֿי בחר אלהוא צאדני צׄבי מן אלאנס מליח אלקואם

غريق في بحر الهوى صادني ظبي من الانس مليح القوام

Drowned in the sea of love. A human gazelle with a graceful figure has ensnared me.

יא לאים כףֿ ויך אל מלאם פֿאן קלבי מגֿרם מסתהאם

يا لائيم كف ويك الملام فان قلبي مغرم مستهام

You cunning one, stop. Wherefore the blame? My heart is fond and infatuated.

פי אלאסחאר דליל מן חאר

في الاسحار دليل من حار

In the early dawn, there is a guide for the perplexed.

This line is in Judeo-Arabic. It comes from a set of poems in Hebrew with only four in Judaeo-Arabic. The Arabic poems are possibly Sufi poems.
