صُحبَتُكَ إِذ عَيني عَلَيها غَشاوَةٌ

فَلَمّا اِنجَلَت قَطَّعتُ نَفسي أَلومُها

Your company, when my eyes were veiled from it

Then when it cleared, I blamed myself

وَما بي وَإِن أَقصَيتَني مِن ضَراعَةٍ

وَلا اِفتَقَرتُ نَفسي إِلى مَن يَضيمُها

What is it to me, even if you denied me in supplication

Nor did my soul need one who injures it

عَطَفتُ عَلَيكِ النَفسَ حَتّى كَأَنَّما

بِكَفَّيكِ بُؤسي أَو عَلَيكِ نَعيمُها

I inclined my soul to you, until it was as though

In your hands was its misery or in you its bliss
