ومُكتئِبِ الفُؤادِ بكَت

لرحمتهِ عواذلُه

The broken-hearted wept

For his mercy, his fair maidens

أذابَ فؤادَهُ كَمداً

حبيبٌ قلَّ نائله

His heart melted like wax

For a beloved rarely attained

فَلئِن شَفاه من دنفٍ

فإنَّ هواكَ قاتلُه

If he was cured of sickness

Still, your love would kill him

فتىً قَوِيت صَبابتهُ

كما ضعفت وسائلُه

A young man strengthened in his youth

As in old age, his means weakened
