قالوا صَحَا قَلبُ المُحبِّ وما صَحَا

ومحا العِذارُ سَنَا الحبيبِ وما محا

They said my love was cured, but it was not

Though years erased my beloved's blame, they did not

ما ضَرَّهُ شَعرُ العِذَارِ وإنَّمَا

وافي يسلسلُ حسنَه أن يبرحَا

Reproaches could not harm me, rather

His beauty's chain compelled me not to part
