إليكَ صحيفةَ شَكْوَى مُحِبٍّ

شَجٍ في جَحيمِ الهَوى قَدْ هَوى

To you a letter of complaint from a lover

Tormented in the hell of passion which he fell into

وما عَبثاً خَطَّها بالهَواءِ

ولكِنْ لِيُنبي بِفَرْطِ الهَوى

And not in vain he wrote it in the air

But rather to declare his excessive passion
