سالِبَ عَيني لَذَّةَ الغُمضِ

وَمُبكِياً بَعضي عَلى بَعضِ

My eyes find pleasure in closing,

And some of me weeps for the rest,

وَقاتِلي ظُلماً بِإِعراضِهِ

وَلَحظِهِ بِالنَظَرِ المُغضي

While your harsh indifference slays me,

And your glance with averted eyes wounds me.

إِيّاكَ يَستَعطِفُ ذو فاقَةٍ

جُرتَ عَلَيهِ في الَّذي تَقضي

You are begged for mercy by the needy

Whom the verdict you pronounced ruined,

مَن يَحسُدُ الأَرضَ لِإِشفاقِهِ

مَوطِئَ نَعلَيكَ مِنَ الأَرض

He who envies the ground you tread

For care and sorrow over you.
