وَما غاضَت مَحاسِنُهُ وَلكِن

بِماءِ الحُسنِ أَورَقَ عارِضاهُ

His beauty has not faded, but

With the water of beauty, his cheek became fresh.

بِهِ فَهِمتَ إِليهِ شَوقاً

فَكيفَ لَكَ التَّصَبُّرَ لَو تَراهُ

Through it you felt longing for him.

So how can you have patience if you were to see him?
