لا تَحسِبُوا صَيداءَ حينَ تَغيَّرَت

وَنُهِيتُ غَيَّرني عَليها النَّاهِي

Do not think I've changed when circumstances altered

And I was forbidden, it was my love that changed me

خَلَصَ الهَوى لمَّا انقضَت أسبابُهُ

فِيها فصِرتُ أحبُّها في اللَّهِ

Love was purified when its causes vanished

So I came to love her for the sake of God
