قد ذقت حرَّ الفِكَرِ
O you untouched by my sleeplessness,
O my peace from my vigil
I have tasted the burning heat of thoughts.
I have tasted the heat of thought

مغيباً عن بصري
You went away, and sleep has remained
You were absent, yet yearning
absent from my eyes.
Remained hidden from my sight

مملكاً بالنظرِ
O beautiful one, to whom I have become
O beauty, to him I became
a possession through a glance,
A kingdom by mere glance

You have won my heart, so do not
be ignoble in victory.
Be mean in victory
