أَعطاكَ دَمعُكَ جُهدَهُ

فَشَكا فُؤادُكَ وَجدَهُ

Your tears have exhausted themselves

So your heart complained of its agony

حَمَّلتَ جِسمَكَ في الهَوى

ما لَم يُطِقهُ فَهَدَّهُ

You have burdened your body with passion

More than it could bear, so it weakened

يا شامِتاً بي إِذ رَأى

هَجرَ الحَبيبِ وَصَدَّهُ

O you who gloat at me when you saw

The beloved has deserted and rejected me

لا تَشمَتَنَّ فَإِنَّهُ

مَولى يُؤَدِّبُ عَبدَهُ

Do not gloat, for he

Is a Master who disciplines His servant
