قَد ضاعَ عُمري في الهَوى وَصَبابَتي

وَقوايَ ضاعَت وَالحِمامُ لَقَد دَنا

My life was wasted in love and my youth

My strength is gone, and death is near

وَدَرى الحَبيبُ بِأَنّني مِن لَحظِهِ

وَقِوامِهِ وَعِذارِهِ ظَهري اِنحَنى

The beloved knows that I, from his glance

And bearing and reproach, my back is bent
