1. I spun tales with my frail body
And longing dressed me in noble attire
١. حَكَيْتُ الْخَيَالَ بِجِسْمِي النَّحِيلْ
وَأَلْبَسَنِي الشَّوْقُ ثَوْبَ الأََصِيلْ
2. And I surrendered to one bending me
Who bruises my heart with a smooth cheek
٢. وَأَسْلَمَنِي لِلتَّوَى شَادِنٌ
يَخُُّد فُؤَادِي بِخَدٍّ أَسِيلْ
3. And separation made me drink the cup of the bereaved
So God suffices me, an excellent trustee
٣. وَجَرَّعَنِي الْبَيْنُ كَأْسَ الْمَنُونْ
فَحَسْبِي الإِلَهُ وَنِعْمَ الْوَكِيلْ
