لي حَبيبٌ عَصَيتُ فيهِ النَصيحا

لَيسَ سَمحاً وَلا بَخيلاً شَحيحا

I have a beloved whom I disobeyed seeking advice

He is neither easygoing nor miserly

كُلَّما قُلتُ قَد رَثى لِسَقامي

زادَ قَلبي بِهَجرِهِ تَبريحا

Whenever I say he has lamented my illness

His estrangement makes my heart more desolate

إِنَّ في الصَدرِ وَالحَشا حُرُقاتٍ

بِتَّ مِنها يا صاحِبي مُستَريحا

In my chest and mind there are burns

From which, my friend, I have become tired

فَأَثِبني مِنَ القَطيعَةِ بِالوَص

لِ وَإِلّا فَاِردُد فُؤادي صَحيحا

So join me back from this separation with intimacy

Or else return my heart intact
