أَطفَأتُ نارَ هَواكَ مِن قَلبي

وَحَلَلتُني مِن عُروَةِ الحُبِّ

I extinguished the fire of your love from my heart

And freed myself from the bond of passion

أَبرَأتُ قَرحَةَ لَوعَةٍ نَبَتَت

بَينَ الشِغافِ كَقَرحَةِ الجَنبِ

I healed the wound of anguish that sprouted

Between the ribs like the wound of pleurisy

ما الذَنبُ يا كَنزَ الذُنوبِ مَعاً

لَكَ في الهَوى لَكِنَّهُ ذَنبي

It is not your fault, O treasure of faults together

For the passion, but it is my fault

لِمَ لَم أَقُل حَسبي فَأَذهَلَ عَن

مَن لَم يَقُل مِن هَجرِهِ حَسبي

Why did I not say “enough for me,” so he would stop

The one who did not say “enough for me” from his estrangement

فَاِسلَم وَلا تَسلَم فَلا عَجَبٌ

لَم تَنجُ لُؤلُؤَةٌ مِنَ الثَقبِ

So surrender or do not surrender, it is no wonder

A pearl does not escape being pierced
