When will he attain what he hopes for

متى ينال لديكم ما يؤمله

1. When will he attain what he hopes for
A longing one with anguished heartbeats

١. متى ينال لديكم ما يُؤمّلُهُ
مُتيَّمٌ ذو تباريحٍ تُبَلبِلُهُ

2. A lion did not expect the torment of passion
That coquetry of a disdainer would subdue him

٢. ما ظَنَّ مَن قَبِلَ تَعذيبِ الهوى أسَدٌ
أَنَّ التَّدَلُّلَ من رئمٍ يُذَلّلُهُ

3. Nor did he know the arrow of love was aimed at him
Until he saw the enchanting eyes unleash it

٣. ولا درى أن سهم الخيف يقصدُهُ
حتَّى رَأَى ساحرَ الأَلحاظِ يُرْسِلُهُ

4. In misery it struck him, every joyous one
As if conveying it from him, transmitting it

٤. مُضنىً رَماهُ بِكَربٍ كُلُّ ذي فَرَحٍ
كَأَنَّما ناقِلٌ عَنهُ يُنَقِّلُهُ

5. So medicine makes him ill, water makes him thirst
And nearness distances him, chastity exposes him

٥. فالطبّ يُسْقِمُهُ والماءُ يُعطشُهُ
والقربُ يبعدُهُ والصّوْنُ يَبذُلُهُ
