عزمتَ عَلى قَتلي بِغَير تحرّج

شجيً بِكَ حَتّى تَقتلَ الهائمَ الشجي

You are determined to kill me without hesitation

So sad am I for you until you kill this sad one

وَلَم يُبدِ سري فيك رَأي وَإِنَّما

تبدَّى فراراً مِن حَشَىً متوهج

My secret was not apparent in you, but rather

It appeared as an escape from terrifying flames

نحولي وَدَمعي دَبجا وَجَنَتي بِما

رَأَت مُقلَتي مِن خدِّكَ المتدبّج

My leanness and tears embroidered, and my cheeks from

What my eyelids saw of your embellished cheeks

بهاراً وَدراً هَبَّتِ الريحُ فوقه

بِقروٍ فَغطَّت وَردَهُ بِالبَنفَسج

Springtime and seeds the wind blew over it

With meadows so it covered its roses with violets
