جَفانِيَ مَعشوقي وَأَطنَبَ بِالجَفا

فَصَمّمت أَنّي أَهتَوي غَيرَ هاجِري

My beloved shunned me and was overly aloof

So I was determined to pine for another

فَإِنَّ المَعاشيقَ الأَحاسِنَ شَأنُهُم

لَهُم غَيرَةٌ مِن بَعضِهِم كَالضّرائِرِ

For the nature of beauties is

That they are jealous of one another like rivals
