خدّي لدَمعٍ فيه مُرفَضِّ
وخدُّهُ لِلَّثمِ والعَضِّ
My cheek is where my tears stream down;
his cheek is made for kisses and bites.
بعضي على بعضي يبكي دماً
وبعضُه يزهى على بعض
One part of me weeps blood over another,
while each part of him proudly outshines another.
ما كملت حتى بدا حسنه
ولا استتمت زينة الأرض
It was not complete until his beauty appeared,
nor was the earth’s adornment perfected.
قد كدتُ أن أقضي من هجره
وحُقَّ للمهجور أن يقضي
I have nearly died from his abandonment;
and it is only right that the forsaken should die.
