أصبحَ القلبُ عندهُ

وهو لو شاء رده

My heart has come to stay with him

Though if he wished, he'd send it away

كيف للمقلتين أن

يطعما النوم بعده

How can my eyes sleep after that

When to him my soul does stray

كم تمنيت منه وص

لاً فأعطيت صده

I wished for union with my dear

But his rejection came my way

لامني فيه حاسدٌ

أتعبَ الله جده

Let no envious blamer rebuke

May God make his enemies pay
