يا من توعدني بصدِّه

ورَمى الفؤادَ بطولِ وجدِه

O you who promised me your rejection

And pierced this heart with prolonged yearning

ما هكذا يا من تَمل

لَكَ يفعلُ المولى بعبدِه

It's not like you, O perfection

For God acts not this way with His servants

لا مت يا من لامني

في كلِّ حالاتي بجهدِه

Do not blame me, O you who blamed me

In all my states with your harshness

حتى أراهُ معانقي

متبسطاً خدّي بخدِه

Until I see you embracing me

With your cheek laid against mine
