غايَتي من بينِ هذا البَشرِ

ومنىً لم أقض منهُ وطري

My goal from among these people

And my wish that I have not fulfilled

مَن عليهِ لامني عاذلُه

وفؤادي لم يُبالِ سهري

The one who reproaches me for longing for him

While my heart does not care for my sleeplessness

أخذَ الله بجسمي قلبهُ

وبقلبٍ ليسَ يسلو بصري

God has taken his body from me

And a heart that does not comfort my sight

ذهبا مني ورُدا كَمدا

وأراني منهما بالأثرِ

He went away from me, gold and roses

And left me with only traces of them
