وقد لاقيت من وقع سهمها

هموما وأشجانا تثير هوان

And from the strike of her arrow I have suffered

worries and sorrows that stir humiliation.

وأبت برفع لثامها

وأعطت حميا الثغر من حان ألحان

And she refused, with the raising of her veil.

And she gave the lips’ intoxicating warmth from a tavern of melodies.

جفونا وقد غدت

تعابسني يا ويح صب الحسان

Eyelids—and now they have begun

to scowl at me: alas for the lover of beautiful women!

داجمعا

علينا فصرنا في انتهاز المثاني

[Unclear as written.]

Upon us, so we came to seize the oft-repeated verses.

صبها قصد انتهار الأمان

سربي مع الركبان

Her ardent lover sought to rebuke safety.

My flock is with the riders.

هياكلنا صارت عليه خيال

كأني هلال الشك في الذوبان

Our bodily forms became a phantom upon it.

As though I were the crescent of doubt, dissolving.
