وَجَوهَرُ أَلفاظي وَحَلْيُ خَلائِقي

وَرَونَقُ أَفعالي وَحُسنُ طَرائِقي

The essence of my words, the beauty of my nature,

The elegance of my deeds, the virtue of my ways,

لِأَن وَجَدَت نَفسي مِنَ الحُبِّ سَلوَةً

فَعادَت إِلى مَن لا يَجودُ لِعاشِقِ

Stem from finding in love a sweet delight,

Which moves me toward one who won't be kind to lovers.
