شهِدتْ عليه بقلَّة الصبرِ

وعظيمِ ما يَلْقَى من الهجرِ

She testified against him for his little patience

And the greatness of what he faces from separation

فوّارةٌ حسدتْ مدامعَه

وهمولَها فَجرَتْ كما تَجري

An erupting spring envied his tears

And its floods flowed as they flow

لكن بدت بمدامع يَقَقٍ

وبكيتُ قبلُ بأدمُعٍ حُمْر

But it appeared with limpid tears

While I cried before with red tears
