أعدمتني بالجوى يا فاتر المقلِ

فضجَّ وجدي على ما بي من العلل

You have disappointed me with indifference, O languid one

So my passion has burst out about my condition

وملتَ عني الى الواشي فلا عجب

فالغصن ما زال مطبوعاً على الميل

And you have turned away from me to the slanderer, no wonder

For the branch continues bent in its leaning

يا واحد الحسن عُدني زورةً حلماً

وها يدي أن نومي قد جفا مقلي

O unique in beauty, call me back, a dream of resolve

And here is my hand, though my sleep has abandoned my eyelids

يا جيرة بأعالي الخيف من إضم

خيبتم بجفاكم في الهوى أملي

O neighbor in the lofty encampments, from yearning

You have disappointed my hopes in love, by your aloofness

وملتم بجميل الصبر عن دنف

وما عسى ينفع الباكي على طلل

And you have turned with beautiful patience from sympathy

What use is it for the weeping over ruins?
