وغُنجِ عَينك وما أودَعَت

أجفانُها قلبَ شَجٍ وامقِ

The charm of your eyes, and what their lids conceal

A heart torn with agony and pain does feel

ما خَلَقَ الرحمنُ تُفَّاحتَي

خَدَّيكَ إلا لفَمِ العاشقِ

The Almighty did not create your rosy cheeks

Except for the lips of lovers to graze and seek

لَكِنَّني أُمنَعُ منها فما

حظِّيَ إلا خِلسَةُ السَّارِقِ

But alas, I'm denied the nectar of your lips

Except through furtive sips like a wretched thief
