ماذا لقيت بمن أعشت روائحها

عيني وضاق بها صبري ومصطبري

What did I find in the one whose scent I lived

My eyes saw her, and my patience and composure narrowed

قستْ وقالت ترى حسني فقلتُ لها

غطِّي هواكِ وما ألقى على صبري

She was harsh and said, "Do you see my beauty?" I said to her

"Cover your love - do not cast it upon my patience"
