أعِن محبك واعصِ من عذلا

ليسَ الصدودُ جزاءَ من وَصلا

Help your lover and disobey the one who finds fault

Turning away is not the reward for one who joins

لا نالَ منكَ منىً يُسرُّ بها

إن لم تكن لفؤادهِ شُغلا

He will not attain delight from you that gladdens him

If his heart is not preoccupied with you

يا غايةً في حسنهِ مثلا

صِل مُدنفاً صَيرتهُ مثلا

O you who are unparalleled in your beauty

Join one who is dejected, you made him thus

فوعزةٍ سكَنت جوانحَهُ

ما إن سَلاكَ ولا ابتَغى بدلا

By the honor that resides in his bosom

He did not leave you nor seek another
