1. My heart is wounded with love for the haughty beauty,
Like a wound that continues to ache after the blood has dried.
١. وَلي كَبِدٌ مِن حُبِّ ظَمياءَ أَصبَحَت
كَذي الجُرحِ يُنكى بَعدَما رَقَأَ الدَمُ
2. Love has struck a heart once distant from passion -
Not everyone who seeks salvation finds peace.
٢. أَصابَ الهَوى قَلباً بَعيداً مِنَ الهَوى
وَما كُلُّ مَن يَبغي السَلامَةَ يَسلَمُ
3. I conceal my love for my people's censurers;
Yet my love for you all is that troublesome concealment.
٣. أُجَمجِمُ عَن عَوّادِ قَومِيَ عِلَّتي
وَحُبُّكُمُ ذاكَ الدَخيلُ المُجَمجَمُ
