1. Poetry deluded you with its fantasies
While security is all the security that deluded you
١. رَوَّعَكَ الشِّعرُ بِأَوْهَامِهِ
وَالأَمْنُ كُلُّ الأَمْنِ مَا رَوَّعَكْ
2. O composer of tears, crying
Over his youth, I cry with you
٢. يَا نَاظِمَ الدَّمْعِ بُكَاءً عَلَى
شَبَابِهِ أَنِّي أَبْكِي مَعَكْ
3. But I hope and I fear, so nothing
Frightened me in love, nor emboldened you
٣. لَكِنَّني أَرْجُو وَتَخْشَى فَمَا
أَخْوَفَنِي حُبّاً وَمَا أَشْجَعَكْ
4. People didn't deprive of the eloquence
That delighted us about you, even if it split you
٤. لاَ حَرِمَ النَّاسُ البَيَانَ الَّذِي
أَمْتَعَنَا مِنْكَ وَأَنْ صَدَّعَكْ
