لم يدَعهُ الكبر حتَّى هَجرا

لو بهِ ما بي إذاً ما صبرا

Pride did not let him go until he left

If he had what I have then he would not have been so patient

وقفَ القلبُ على نفرتهِ

وعلى الطرفِ البكا والسهرا

My heart stood still because of his aversion

While my eyes cried and lost sleep

هل أطاعَ القلبُ من يعذلُهُ

في هواهُ أو عصى ما أمرا

Did my heart obey the one who blamed it

For its love or disobey what was ordered

لا أبتلي اللَه بما لي من هوىً

من لمن لم يرث لي أو صبرا

I will not test God with the love I have

For one who did not inherit it for me or have patience
