أأزورُ دارَك كرّتينِ وأنثني

عنها وأنت بها ولستُ أراكا

Shall I visit your home twice and return

While you are there, yet still not see you?

ما كان ضرَّك لو خرجْتَ تكلُّفاً

ورعايةً لودادِ مَن يرعاكا

It would not hurt you to come out of courtesy

And care for one whose love tends you.

غلب الملالُ عليك حتى إنّهُ

إن كنتَ مِلْتَ الى سوايَ فإنني

Boredom has overcome you, so that

If you are bored with me, well I

ما مِلْتُ لِسواكا

Am not bored of you.
