لا تُصغِيا في الهَوى لِمَن عَذَلا

بَل وَاِسقِياني سُقيتُما نَهَلا

Do not listen in love to one who has spurned me,

Rather keep giving me drink, you two poured a draft.

لا وَالَّذي مَلَكَ الهَوى جَسَدي

ما هَجَعَت مُقلَتايَ إِذ رَحَلا

No, by Him who owns my heart and body,

My eyelids have not rested since they departed.

لا زالَ طَيفٌ لَهُ يُؤَرِّقُني

يَطرُقُ عَنّي الكَرى إِذا نَزَلا

A specter of him continues to torment me,

Troubles turn away from me when they alight.

لا صَبرَ عَمَّن إِذا تَصَوَّرَ لي

رَأَيتُ بَدرَ السَماءِ قَد أَفلا

I have no patience for one who, if he pictures for me,

I would see the full moon of the sky has set.
