نَاديت قَاضِي الهَوَى وَالسقمُ يَشْهَدُ لِي

وَلِلدُّمُوعِ بِمَحْوِ الخدّ إثْبَاتُ

I called upon the judge of love while sickness bore witness for me,

And for tears erasing my cheek, proof was established,

وللّحَاظِ بِجَفْنَيْ مَنْ قُتِلْتُ بِهِ

صَحَائِفٌ سُطِّرَتْ فِيهَا المَنِيَّاتُ

And for my eyelids, for the one I was killed by,

Pages were inscribed detailing my wishes,

وَلِلْعَوَارِضِ إعْلاَمٌ بِصَفْحَتِهِ

قد سَجَّلَتْهُ الخدُودُ العَنْدَمِيَّاتُ

And for my cheeks, signs indicating,

My rosy cheeks recorded their markings,

وَقِّعْ عَلَى قِصَّتِي وَانْظُرْ عَوَارِضَهُ

فَقَالَ هَلْ هُنَّ أحْيَا قُلْتُ لاَ مَاتُوا

Sign my story and look upon its signs,

He said: "Are they alive?" I said: "No, they died."
