أفدى مهاةً كم قطعتُ بوصلها

عيشاً جرى من بعده دمعي دما

How many tender ties I've sacrificed for her

Whose life thereafter was but tears and blood

صدت ومالت للجفا بعد الوفا

وأظنها نسيت عهوداً بالحمى

She turned aside and leaned towards estrangement

After devotion, and forgot, I think, pledges sworn when passion was aflame
