وكَذَّبتُ طَرفي فيك والطرفُ صادق
وأسمعت أُذني منك ما ليس تسمعُ
I disbelieved my own eyes concerning you, though the eye is truthful,
And made my ear hear from you what it could not hear.
ولم أسكنِ الأرض التي تسكنونها
لئلا يقولوا إنني بِكَ مولعُ
I did not dwell in the land where you all dwell,
Lest they say that I am passionately enamored of you.
فلا كبدي تهدأ ولا لك رحمةٌ
ولا عنك إقصاء ولا فيك مطمعُ
And so my heart finds no calm, nor have you any mercy;
I cannot keep away from you, yet can hope for nothing from you.
Sol 5.6
