أَنا الّذي بِالهَوى قاضيهِ أَوصى لي
وَمزّقَ الحبُّ أَعضائي وَأَوصالي
I am he—to me the judge of passion gave revelation;
and love tore apart my limbs and joints.
يا مَن لِنارِ الجَوى طفّاء أَوصالي
أَطفي بِوَصلِكَ لَهيبَ المُغرمِ المضنى
O you! My limbs are quenchers of passion’s fire;
through union with you, I quench the worn lover’s blaze,
لَعَلَّ نارَ الجَوى تُطفى بِأَوصالي
that perhaps passion’s fire may be quenched by my limbs.
