سَأَلتُ بِحَقِّ هَذا الشَهرِ أَلّا

رَجَعتِ إِلى المَوَدَّةِ وَالوِصالِ

I begged you for the sanctity of this month, do not

Return to intimacy and reunion

فَأَنتِ وَإِن أَضَعتِ الوُدَّ عِندي

بِمَنزِلَةِ اليَمينِ مِنَ الشِمالِ

Yet you, though you have lost affection for me

Are like my right hand is to my left
