يا من تَبَرَّمَ بالرقِي

بِ وبات يشكو منه هَوْلا

O you who complained of the wind's cold,

And spent the night lamenting its howl,

ورآه بالإعراض عن

ه حَبِيبُهُ أحْرَى وأوْلَى

And saw him turn away,

More deserving and more apt was his beloved.

أنا مِن حِبيبِي بالغٌ

أقصَى المنى فِعلاً وقَولا

I am fully satisfied with my beloved,

In deed and word, to the utmost extent.

إن قلتُ زُرْنِي ساعةً

أَبدَى رِضاهُ وزارَ حَولا

If I say "Visit me an hour,"

He shows his pleasure and lingers around.

ترفُ المحاسِنِ ليس في

ه لمن يروم العَيْبَ لولا

An abundance of beauty is not found

In one who seeks out defects, not at all.

إنِي وإن مُلِّكتُه

لأراه لِي في الحبّ مَوْلى

Though I make him a king,

I see him as fully devoted to me in love.
