سألت حبيبي اين وعدك فالتوى

بلطف كغصن البان ليا عن الوعد

I asked my beloved where is your promise bending

With gentleness like a supple bough he turned from his promise

وغالطني بالقول والحب جائر

علي فآه آه من ناقض العهد

And wronged me with words though love is unjust

Woe to me from one who breaks vows

ففي شعره ليل وشمس بوجهه

ومن نقضه الميثاق قلبي في الرعد

In his hair there is night and sun in his face

My heart is thunder because he broke his pact
