1. Who granted me union with the beloved who was forbidden to me, whom the swords of my eyelids cut off my hand from reaching?
I yearned, I yearned for the beauty of the camel litters, but the inner beauty that people saw openly in them negated my passion and took away my fervor for them, because I was more helpless before it than it was before me.
١. مَن لي بِوَصلِ مُمَنَّعٍ قَطَعَت يَدي
سَلوانَ عاشِقِهِ صَوارِمُ جَفنِهِ
٢. أَحوى حَوى جُمَلَ الجَمال فَباطِنُ ال
حُسنِ الَّذي في الناسِ ظاهِرُ حُسنِهِ
٣. إيجابُ وَجدي فيهِ سالِبُ سَلوَتي
عَنهُ لِأَنّي مِنهُ أَيسَرُ مِنِّهِ
