فريد حسنٍ تجافى

هلاّ شفعتَ بحسنى

My handsome beloved is estranged

If only you had interceded with your beauty

يا ليت شعري لمعنىً

جفوت أم لا لمعنى

I wish I knew if it was without meaning

That you were unkind or if it had meaning

أسهرتني وعذولي

على هواك معنى

You have kept me sleepless and distracted

With passion for you that has meaning

ليلي وعاذل مثلي

هذا وذا ما أجنى

My night is like my reproacher's night

This and that is what I reap
