لا نالَ جسمكَ ما بطرفِك

مما أضرَّ بجسمِ إلفك

Your body is not harmed by your glance,

Though it has pained your beloved's body.

ذَهبت معاتبهُ وكل لسا

نهُ عن كُنهِ وصفِك

Reproaches have gone, and every tongue is still,

Unable to describe your essence.

حيرانُ أثقلهُ الهوى

إثقالَ نصفِكَ ما بنصفِك

Passion has left me confused,

Weighing down half of me, but not the other half.

أمنُن عليهِ بوصلهِ

أو خلِّ ما أضحى بكفِّك

Shall I grant union to one pained by love,

Or leave my hand as it was in your palm?
