Claude 2

  1. وِصالٌ كانَ فَاِنقَطَعا

    فَصِحتُ لِبَينِهِ جَزَعا

    A union there was, then severed;

    I cried aloud, in grief unmeasured;

  2. وَوَجدٌ يا ظَلومُ بِكُم

    أَصابَ القَلبَ فَاِنصَدَعا

    How cruel, the woe that you’ve rendered!

    My heart struck, shattered and sundered.

  3. تَقَسَّمَني الهَوى قِطَعا

    فَلَم أَرَ مِثلَ ما صَنَعا

    Passion split me in pieces shredded,

    I’ve not seen the like of what you’ve done.

  4. وَأَبدَعَ لي بِهَجرِكُمُ

    بَلايا صاغَها بِدَعا

    And your abandonment has created

    For me, miseries carefully fashioned.
