ذَنبي إِلَيهِ خُضوعي حينَ أُبصِرُهُ

وَطولُ شَوقي إِلَيهِ حينَ أَذكُرُهُ

My sin to him is my submission when I see him

And the length of my longing for him when I remember him

وَما جَرَحتُ بِطَرفِ العَينِ مُهجَتُهُ

إِلّا وَمِن كَبِدي يَقتَصُّ مَحجَرُهُ

And I have not wounded his affection with a glance of my eye

Except that my liver would extract its stones because of him

نَفسي عَلى بُخلِهِ تَفديهِ مِن قَمَرٍ

وَإِن رَماني بِذَنبٍ لَيسَ يَغفِرُهُ

My soul over his stinginess would ransom him over a moon

And if he blamed me for a sin he would not forgive it

وَعاذِلٍ بِاِصطِبارِ القَلبِ يَأمُرُني

فَقُلتُ مِن أَينَ لي قَلبٌ أُصَبِّرُهُ

And one blaming with patience of heart orders me

So I said: From where will I get a heart with which I can have patience
