علم نَومي الجفاءَ بي فَجَفا

فزادَ جسمي بقدِّهِ دَنفَا

He taught my sleep of his cruelty towards me, so it increased

My body's thinness through his height

يا أحسنَ العالمين منزلةً

عندَ فؤادٍ أذابَهُ أسفا

O fairest of both worlds in abode

To a heart melted away in sorrow for him

أصبحَ بدرُ الدُجى يقول بأن

نكَ منهُ أبهى ومعترفا

The moon of darkness said that indeed

You are more splendid than it and it admits

بحسبِ قلبي هواكَ يا ملكَ الن

ناسِ لقلبٍ بحسنهِ وكفَى

According to my heart your love, O king of

People, suffices a heart in your beauty
