ما لمن ملني ولي

ساءه قول عذلي

My blamer blames me wrongfully

Though with good words I pled my cause

ليته بالذي بلي

ت به في الهوى بلي

Would that with what has brought me low

In love, he too were tried and flawed

يا خليلي والملو

ل كثير التنقل

Oh my friend whose love is fickle

Who wanders much from place to place

آه من سطوة الحبيب وفرط التدلل

Alas, the tyranny of the beloved and excess of indulgence
