لَسْتُ أَنْسى قَلْبي وَقَدْ باتَ نَهْباً

بَيْنَ بَيْنٍ مُبَرِّحٍ وَصُدودِ

I cannot forget my heart though it lies ravaged

Between the cheers of two faced friends and their rejection

وَسَماءُ العُيونِ إِذْ ذاكَ تَسْقي

بِسَحابِ الجُفُونِ رَوْضَ الخُدودِ

And the sky of eyes that once watered

With eyelids' clouds the cheeks' garden

لَمْ أَجِدْ مَا بِهِ أَجودُ بِدَمعي

غَيْرَ رُوحي فَجُدْتُ بِالْمَوْجُودِ

I found naught to spend my tears on

Except my soul, so I spent on the existent
