ثلاثٌ قد حَلَلْنَ حِمى فؤادي
ويُعطينَ الرغائبَ من ودادي
Three women have settled in my heart’s inviolable preserve,
and are granted all they desire out of my love.
نظمتُ خيوطهنَّ بخيطِ قلبي
فهنَّ قَرابتي حتى التنادي
I have strung their threads upon the thread of my heart,
and thus they are my kin until the Day of Calling.
فَمَنْ يكُ حَلَّ من قلبٍ مَحَلاً
فهنَّ مع النواظرِ والسَّوادِ
So if unbinding them from my heart is impossible,
then they remain with the gazing eyes and their black pupils.
