شَجا قَلبي غَزالٌ ذو

دَلالٍ واضِحُ السُنَّه

My heart a gazelle broke

With clear, fetching grace

أَسيلُ الخَدِّ مَربوبٌ

وَفي مَنطِقِهِ غُنَّه

My cheeks rain, made lovely

Melody in his case

أَلا إِنَّ الغَواني قَد

بَرى جِسمي هَواهُنَّه

Lo! Maidens saw in my frame

Languor for his place

وَقالوا شَفَّكَ الحورُ

هَوىً قُلتُ لَهُم إِنَّه

And said, "Heartsick with houris you pine"

I said, "Nay, that's not the case,

وَلكِنّي عَلى ذاكَ

مُعَنّىً بِأَذاهُنَّه

But for that I'm concerned

With their hurting ways."

أَراحَ اللَّهُ عَمّاراً

مِنَ الدُّنيا وَمِنهُنَّه

God give Ammar peace

From earth and their pace,

بَعيداتٍ قَريباتٍ

فَلا كانَ وَلا كُنَّه

Far or near they come,

Being nor hearing case.

فَقَد أَذهَلَ مِنّي العَق

لَ وَالقَلبَ شَجاهُنَّه

So wonder at me did mute

My mind, heart their chase–

يُمَنّينَ الأَباطيلَ

وَيَجحَدنَ الَّذي قُلنَه

Vain things he makes real

Denying what we say's the case.
