كَلَفِي بِمَنْ لَمْ يَقْضِ دَيْنِي

سَبَبٌ إِلى تَلَفِي وَحَيْنِي

The one who did not repay my debt

Caused my ruin and loss of time

عَشِقَ السَّقَامُ جُفُونَهُ

عِشْقَ السُّهَادِ جُفُونَ عَيْنِي

His sick eyes were sleepless with love

While my eyes lost sleep out of sadness

لَمْ يَكْفِني هجْرانُهُ

حَتَّى تَعَقَّبَني بِبَيْنِ

His abandonment was not enough

Until it followed me with separation
