لمَّا عِشقتُ طَردت النّومَ عَن مُقلي

وَقَد تَولَّى وَما قَد زارَ لي حَدقا

When I fell in love, sleep was banished from my eyes

Though it has long deserted me and seldom visits anymore

فَالعِشقُ وَالنّومُ ضِدَّانِ اِجتِماعُهما

مِنَ المُحالِ فَلا نَوم لِمَن عَشِقا

For love and sleep are opposites; it's impossible

For one who's in love to sleep
