يا دنِفَ القلبِ ما الذي شَغلك

لم تُعطِ ممن تحبهُ أملك

O heart that distracts you, what has preoccupied you

You did not give hope to the one you love

لا تشكُ طولَ الهوى إلى أحدٍ

فإنه لم يزل عليكَ ولك

Do not doubt the longevity of passion for anyone

For it has always been yours and for you

وَاشفع إلى وَجه مَن وهَبت وعذ

بهِ فما مثلُ وجههِ جذلك

And intercede on behalf of the face you were enchanted by

For there is no face like his that captivates you

وخلِّ من لامَ في ملامته

فلو رأى ما رأيتَ ما عذَلك

And refrain from blaming the blameless one

If he saw what you saw, he would not blame you
