لَئِن كانَ شَهرُ الصَومِ لِلناسِ رَحمَةً

لَقَد حَلَّ بي فيهِ البَلاءُ المُبَرِّحُ

Although the fasting month is a mercy for people

Affliction has certainly befallen me in it, causing anguish

بَلاءٌ مِنَ الحُبِّ الَّذي لَم تَزَل بِهِ

جَوامِعُ أَكبادِ المُحِبّينَ تَقرَحُ

An affliction from love, which has continually

Caused the inner hearts of lovers to ulcerate
