ما على الغضبانِ لو كانَ رَضي

وَرثَى لي من تمادِي مَرضِي

The angry one should not blame me if I was pleased

And grieved for me from the progression of my illness

قالَ لي لمَّا تَشكَّيتُ الهَوى

احمدِ اللَهَ كذا كان قَضي

He said to me when I complained of love

Thank God, that was his decree

قلت حاشا اللَه أن يقضي بذا

بل قضاهُ صاحبُ الوجهِ الوَضِي

I said, God forbid that He would decree this

Rather, it was decreed by the owner of the radiant face

أنتَ شرَّدتَ رُقادي ظالماً

فاجعلِ الإنصافَ منهُ عِوَضِي

You dispersed my tranquility unjustly

So make fairness my compensation
