قالوا صَحَوتَ فَقُلتُ تَأبى لَوعَةٌ

في القَلبِ يَلذَعُ جَمرُها بَل يَحرِقُ

They said you woke up, so I said anguish refuses

In my heart, its embers sting and surely burn

قَلِقَت مَدامِعُهُ فَبُحنَ بِسِرِّهِ

مَن ذا يُقارِنُهُ الهَوى لا يَقلَقُ

My tears became restless, so he confided his secret

Who can compare to him in love and not be restless?

قَلبي المَلومُ عَنِ الهَوى بَل مُقلَتي

بَل ذا وَذاكَ كِلاهُما لي موبِقُ

My heart is blamed for love, but it's my wretchedness

In fact both, each leads me to perdition

قُل ما بَدا لَكَ عاذِلاً وَمُناصِحاً

قَدَرُ الهَوى فَأَسيرُهُ لا يُطلَقُ

Say, what seems to you, blaming or advising?

The decree of love, so I'm its prisoner, not freed
