1. Rejection has only fueled my passion more
It has harmed me more than it has helped
١. لَم يَزِدني العَذلُ إِلَّا وَلَعا
ضَرني أَكثَرُ مِمّا نَفَعا
2. My heart was taken by an eye that glanced
If only it and my heart had left together
٢. ذَهَبَت بِالقَلبِ عَينٌ نَظَرَت
لَيتَها كانَت وَإِيّاهُ مَعا
3. Or yearning had blinded it so it couldn't see
If only my heart had gone back, alas
٣. أَو بَراها الشَّوقُ حَتّى لا تَرى
حَتفَها يالَيتَ قَلبي رَجَعا
4. Each day brings me a new affliction
It has left me always following desire
٤. كُلّ يَومٍ لِيَ مِنهُ آفَةٌ
تَرَكَتني لِلهَوى مُتَّبِعا
