أَكْثَرْتَ لَوْمِي بِغَيْرِ تَنْفيسِ

مَا أَنْتَ إِلا رَسُولُ إِبْلِيسِ

You blamed me excessively without relief

You are but a messenger of Iblis

جَفني مِنَ الدَّمعِ موسِرٌ ومِن السَّل

وَةِ قَلبي مِنَ المَفاليسِ

A wealthy man dried my tears, and emptied

My heart of tranquility and solace

مَنْ لامَني في الحَبيبِ كانَ كَمَنْ

يَضْرِبُ في مَسْجِدٍ بِناقُوسِ

He who blames me for loving was like one who

Rings bells in a mosque, lost and confused
