I was busy with him, and preoccupied every anxious mind

شغلت به وأشغل كل بال

1. I was busy with him, and preoccupied every anxious mind
It flows through the subtleties of meanings

١. شُغِلتُ به  وأشغلَ كلّ بالٍ
يمرّ  على رقيقاتِ المعاني

2. Melting for my eloquent poetry are crowds
And my rhetoric dazzles them in my expression

٢. تذوبُ لشعري الزاكي جموعٌ
ويبهرها البلاغةُ في بياني

3. And the heart of whom I chose is a consoling brother
And I ignore whoever sees .. what I suffer

٣. وقلبُ من اصطفيت أخو سلوٍّ
وأجهلُ من يرى  ..  عمّا أعاني

4. And if he had even some of my
Yearning to meet.. it would suffice me

٤. ولو كانتْ بهِ من بَعض مابِي
من الأشواقِ للّقيا .. كفَانِي

5. But I have suffered from the love of an unfeeling one
May God afflict him.. for what he has afflicted me!

٥. ولكنّي بُليت بحبّ صلفٍ
بلاهُ الله .. ممّا قد بلاني !
