لقد رضي المحبوب بعد صُدُوده

وفكّ فُؤادي من شديد قُيوده

The beloved relented after his aloofness

And freed my heart from its tight shackles

وما بعهود كنتُ أعهدُ نكثها

وما كان ظنّي أن يفي بعهوده

He did not break his promises as I feared

I did not expect him to keep his word

وبات يُعاطيني مُدامة ثغره

على آس صُدغيه وورد خدوده

He now grants me the wine of his mouth

On my cheek's myrtle and his rosy cheeks
