1. اشتفى العاذلونَ مني وزادوا

    وأروني من الهوى ما أرادوا

    The reproachers sated their spite on me and went further.

    And showed me whatever they wished of love.

  2. يا عزائي أسلمتني لاشتياقي

    حين عز الهوى وذل العبادُ

    O my solace, you abandoned me to my longing,

    When love grew mighty and people were humbled.

  3. لست أدري أين الفؤادُ مقيما

    بمكانِ الفؤادِ أينَ الفؤادُ

    I do not know where the heart abides.

    In the heart's place—where is the heart?

  4. دفعتهُ الأحشاءُ عما يليها

    فأذابته حرقة واتقادُ

    The entrails drove it away from what lay beside them,

    So burning anguish and blazing heat melted it.
