لَعَمري لَئِن أَقرَرتُمُ العَينَ بِالَّذي

فَعَلتُم لَقَد أَسخَنتُمُ العَينَ أَكثَرا

By my life, if you deny respite to these eyes with what

You have done, you have made these eyes burn even more

سَلي إِن جَهِلتِ الحُبَّ مَن ذاقَ طَعمَهُ

وَإِن كُنتِ لا تَلقَين مِثلي مُخبِرا

Ask me, if you do not know the taste of love, who has tasted it

And if you have not met anyone like me, informer

لَقَد حُجِبَت عَينايَ عَن كُلِّ مَنظَرٍ

وَما خُلِقَت عَينايَ إِلّا لِتَنظُرا

My eyes have been blocked from every scene

And my eyes were not created except to see

وَقَد قَشَعَت عَني ظَلومُ بِصَدِّها

سَحابَ نَوالٍ بَعدَما كَانَ أَمطَرا

And the darkness of her rejection has uncovered me

The clouds of affection after it had rained
