خُذُوا بَقيَّة نَفْسي وامْحَقُوا الأثرا

حَسْبي رِضاكُم ودَعْ مَنْ لامَ أوْ عَذَرا

Take the rest of my soul and wipe away all trace

Your pleasure is enough for me, leave those who blame or make excuses

يا نازِحينَ وآمالِيْ تُقَرِّبُهُمْ

فَما اخْتَفَى حُسْنُهم عَني ولا اسْتَتَرا

O you who move away, though my hopes bring you near

Their beauty has not hidden from me, nor concealed at all

مالِيْ أراكُم تُوالُوني مُقاطَعةً

هَبْني أسأْتُ فَها قَدْ جِئْتُ مُعْتَذِرا

Why do you shun me, cutting me off?

I have done wrong, so here I come to apologize

أنا المُحِبُّ المُعَنَّى فارْحَمُوا وَلَهِي

ورَدِّدوا في ضَنا جُثْمانِيَ النَّظَرا

I am the loving, tormented one, so have mercy and let me

Rove again, gazing on your gathered bodies

تَرَوا كَئيباً حُلاهُ في الهَوى اشْتَهرَتْ

يا وَيْحَ مَنْ بِحُلاه في الهَوى اشْتَهَرا

You see me, gloomy, renowned in love for my garb

Oh woe to those renowned for their garb of love
