رأى ذُلِّي فَأَعْرَضَ وَاسْتَطالا

رأى ذُلِّي فَأَعْرَضَ وَاسْتَطالا

وَآلى لا يُكَلِّمُني دَلالا

وَآلى لا يُكَلِّمُني دَلالا

He saw my abasement, turned away, and grew haughty.

And swore not to speak to me, out of coyness.

وَكانَ يَزُورُني مِنْهُ خَيالٌ

وَكانَ يَزُورُني مِنْهُ خَيالٌ

فَلَمَّا أَنْ جَفَا مَنَعَ الخَيالا

فَلَمَّا أَنْ جَفَا مَنَعَ الخَيالا

And a vision of him used to visit me.

But when he grew distant, he withheld the vision.

أَزِيدُ صَبَابَةً في كلِّ يَوْمٍ

أَزِيدُ صَبَابَةً في كلِّ يَوْمٍ

كَما تَزْدَادُ طَلْعَتُهُ جَمَالا

كَما تَزْدَادُ طَلْعَتُهُ جَمَالا

I long more deeply every day,

Just as his countenance grows in beauty.
