1. Reproach that does not cease,
And love that cannot be concealed,
١. عِتابٌ لَيسَ يَنصَرِمُ
وَحُبٌّ لَيسَ يَنكَتِمُ
2. And a maid I suffer for,
As if her fingers were bees with sting,
٢. وَجارِيَةٍ بُليتُ بِها
كَأَنَّ بَنانَها عَنَمُ
3. Effeminate, made womanly,
In her is pain, and in me pain,
٣. مُخَنَّثَةٌ مُؤَنَّثَةٌ
بِها أَلَمٌ وَبي أَلَمُ
4. She trails the train of her skirt,
While the knight of her ear is a pen.
٤. تُجَرِّرُ ذَيلَ مِئزَرِها
وَفارِسُ أُذنِها قَلَمُ
