لَك الخَيرُ هذا بَرقُ بُرقَةِ عاقِلِ

فَعرِّج عسى تقضي حُقُوقَ المنازلِ

You are the best, this is lightning bolt from a wise lightning

So take a detour, hopefully you fulfill the rights of dwellings

ونستافُ من طُرق الغرام تُرابَها

ونسقيهِ من ماءِ الجُفونِ بوابلِ

And we wipe off the paths of love its dust

And we water it with the rain of eyelids abundantly

وَنَسألُ بانَ الجزعِ هَل ضَاعَ بَعدَهُم

بريحِ شَمالٍ بَعدَ تِلكَ الشَّمائِلِ

And we ask the bereavement, did it get lost after them

With the north wind after those beautiful traits

وَنَندبُ أَوقاتاً تََقضَّت بِظلِّهِ

لنا مَع ظِباءٍ كالظُّبَا في الهَياكلِ

And we mourn times that have passed in its shadow

For us, with gazelles like the oryxes in the temples

وَهَل عائِدٌ رَندُ المحصَّبِ بَعدمَا

نأَى السِّربُ عَنهم في نَسيمِ الأصائِلِ

And did the fox of the valley return after

The flock distanced themselves from them in the breeze of the originary winds

ديارٌ لهُم في القَلبِ لم يعفُ رسمُها

وإن هي عفَّت في العُذيبِ وبابلِ

They have dwellings in the heart whose features have not wasted away

And if they did waste away in anguish and confusion

تُعلِّمنُي كَيفَ الغرامُ رُسومُها

وَتَمنحُني من دَوحِِها بالبَلابِلِ

It teaches me the ways of love

And gives me from its ink pots and trills

وإِني لأَستشفي بريِّ نَسيمِها

بمِا فيهِ من آثارِ تلك الرَّسائلِ

And I get healed by the wind of it

With what it contains from the effects of those missives

أَيا جيرةً بالأبرقينِ لديكُمُ

فُؤادٌ أَصبتمُ مِنهُ كُلَّ الَمقاتِلِ

Oh neighbors with embers amongst you

Is a heart you have attained from it all the warriors

ولا يرعوي في حُبكُم فيضُرُّهُ

حَديثُ مَلامِ لا ولا عَذلُ عاذِلِ

And no one objects to your love so it harms him

Not the talk of a blamer, no, nor the rebuke of a chider
