يا من تغازلني بعندم خدها

ودموع عيني نصف ذاك العندم

O you who seduce me with your absence, take it

And the tears of my eyes are half of that absence

ما احمرَّ خدُّك والعيون تنوشني

بنبالها إلّا ليعرب عن دمي

Your cheek did not blush and the eyes did not pierce me

With its arrows except to express my blood
