لَم يُغنِ لَدى الفِراق عَنّي جَزَعي

ما لانَ حصاةُ قَلبها بالخِدَعِ

My lament did not avail me at parting,

No more did the flintiness of her heart yield to guiles.

أَشبَعتُ لَها القَولَ فَقالَت وَمَضَت

أَقصِر فَلَقَد لَفَظتَني عَن شَبَعِ

I gave her my fill of words and she said farewell -

"Spare me more! You have surfeited me."
