يا خُلَّتي وَصَفِيَّتي وَعَذابي

مالي كَتَبتُ فَلَم تَرُدَّ جَوابي

O my confidante, my companion, my torment,

Why have I written you, yet no reply from you,

خَنَتِ المَواثِقَ أَم لَقيتِ حَواسِداً

يَهوَيَن هَجري أَم مَلَّلتِ عِتابي

Have you betrayed your promises, or have you met envious foes,

Who rejoice at my estrangement, or are you wearied of my reproaches?
