أيا حسناً قد هوى شائباً

لقد بتُّما والهوى مشكل

Oh beautiful one who I have come to love though fading

I have persevered while this love is troublesome

فلو بتُّما عند قدريكما

لبتُّ وأعلا كما الأسفل

If I had persevered according to both of your statuses

I would have persevered and become as high as the lowest
