صارَمتِهِ فَتَواصَلَت أَحزانُهُ

وَهَجَرتِهِ فَتَهاجَرَت أَجفانُهُ

His harshness connected his sorrows

And his abandonment made his eyelids abandon me

قَالَت تُعَرِّضُ مَسُّ شَيطانٍ بِهِ

بَل أَنتِ حينَ مَلَكتِهِ شَيطانُهُ

She said, you blame it on the touch of a devil in him

Rather, you were his devil when you possessed him

قَد ضَلَّ عَنهُ فُؤادُهُ فَاِستَخبِري

عَينَيكِ أَينَ مَحَلُّهُ وَمَكانُهُ

His heart has strayed from him, so ask

Your eyes, where is its place and abode?
