أَمّا فُؤادي فَقَد رَقَّت جَوانِحُهُ

عَنِ الغَرامِ وَخانَتني عَزائِمُهُ

As for my heart, its innermost parts have grown tender

From passion, and its resolves have betrayed me.

وَلَستُ أنكِرُ ما فيهِ لِبُعدِكُمُ

وَكَيفَ أنكِرُهُ وَاللَّه عالِمُهُ

I do not deny what it holds because you are far away;

How could I deny it, when God knows it?
