لعب الهوى بمعالى ورسومى

لعب الهوى بمعالى ورسومى

ودفنت حيا تحت ردم هموم

ودفنت حيا تحت ردم هموم

Passion toyed with my eminence and my traces.

Love toyed with my meanings and forms

And I was buried alive beneath a mound of worries.

And buried me alive beneath piled sorrows

وشكوت همى حين ضقت ومن شكا

وشكوت همى حين ضقت ومن شكا

هما يضيق به فغير ملوم

هما يضيق به فغير ملوم

And I complained of my sorrow when I felt overwhelmed; and whoever complains

And I complained of my worries when distressed

of a sorrow that overwhelms him is not to blame.

But one bothered by woes is blameless
