سلطان حسنك بحكم الجور خلّيته

على الحشا وبغاراتك توليته
You let your beauty’s power rule unjustly
Your tyrannical rule made a sultan of your beauty
Over my heart, and with your raids you took control of it.
You assigned it to wander the hills and caves
هجَّجتyou drove to flight قلبيmy heart ومنهُand of it الصدرthe breast أخليتهyou emptied it
هجَّجت قلبي ومنهُ الصدر أخليته
حتىuntil لحقتكI caught up with you ولاand not ادريI know اينwhere خليتهI left it
حتى لحقتك ولا ادري اين خليته
You drove my heart to flight and emptied my breast of it,
You stirred my heart and emptied my chest of it
Until I caught up with you—and I do not know where I left it.
Until I reached you, not knowing where you had abandoned it
Sol 6.1
