غَزالٌ نَقَدْتُ له طاعتِي

وعَجَّلْتُ للوَصْلِ ذاك السَّلَمْ

A gazelle whom I gave my obedience

And hastened the ladder for that reunion

وأقْسمتُ لا بُدَّ مِن وَصْلِهِ

وبالهَجْرِ والوَصْلِ يأْتِي القَسَمْ

I swore it's inevitable we unite

By estrangement and reunion comes destiny

ولامُ العِذَارِ على خَدِّهِ

لَعَمْرِي مُوَطِّئَةٌ لِلْقَسَمْ

Blaming his cheek is useless

By my life, it only affirms our fate
