كَن كَيفَما كَنتَ لا بِدعَ كُفيتَ بَلاً

لَدَيهِ كابدتُ لَوماً لِلعَذول كَفى

Be as you may, you were inevitably blamed

I have endured blame with him, enough of avoidance

بَدا لِقَوميَ سرٌّ كُنتُ كاتِمهُ

كَما كَسيت لَدَيهِم بِالضَّنى كَلفا

A secret appeared to my people I was hiding

As I covered myself with grief before them

بَرَّحتَ لي كَبِداً بِالشَوقِ كَم سُلِبَت

كَما كَويتُ كلىً بَرّحتُها لَهَفا

You have relieved a liver with yearning, how much was taken

As I seared a kidney, it relieved anguish

كَأَنَّما كُنتُ لاهٍ بِالهوى لِعباً

وَذاكَ شِرحُ ضُروبِ الحُبِّ قَد كَشَفا

As if I was a confused lover, a plaything of passion

That is an exposition of the ways of love, it has revealed
