لو أنني حُسنُهُ أو أنّهُ حَزَني

ما بِنتُ عنهُ وعنِّي قطُّ لم يبِنِ

If I were his beauty or if he were my sorrow

I would not have parted from him nor would he from me

لأنّه لم يزل والحسنَ في قَرَنٍ

وأنني لم أزَلْ والحزنَ في قَرَنِ

For he has never ceased being with beauty

And I have never ceased being with sorrow
