عَجِبتُ لِبُرئي مِنكِ يا عَزَّ بَعدَما

عَمِرتُ زَمانًا منك غَيرَ صَحيحِ

I'm amazed at being healed by you, O solace, after

I had lived for a time with you, nothing wholesome.

فَإِن كانَ بُرءُ النَفسِ لي مِنكِ راحَةً

فَقَد بَرِئَت إِن كانَ ذاكَ مُريحي

If being healed in spirit is rest for me from you,

Then I am healed if that brings comfort to me.

تَجَلّى غِطاءُ الَرأسِ عنّي وَلَم يَكَد

غِطاءُ فُؤادي يَنجَلي لِسَريحِ

The cover of my head was unveiled from me, yet

The cover of my heart barely clears for respite.

سَلا القَلبُ عَن كِبراهُما بَعدَ حِقبَةٍ

وَلُقّيتُ مِن صُغراهُما اِبنَ بَريحِ

My heart asked about both their prides after an era,

And I met from both their smallness a son of the winds.

فَلا تَذاكُرا عِندي عُقَيبةَ إِنني

تَبينُ إِذا بَانَت عُقَيبَةُ روحي

So do not discuss with me the consequence, for I

Perceive when the consequence of my soul appears.
