يا غادياً متوسّطا

للسير ظهر قعوده

O you who are walking leisurely

To traverse its back sitting

ما اخترت بعدك عكبرا

وطنا لبذل مفيده

I have not chosen after you another homeland

To give my useful efforts

لكن لحسن جنانه

وجمال نشئ يهوده

But for the goodness of its heavens

And the beauty of its flourishing youth

ومن البلاء ظباؤه

يملكن رق أسوده

And from affliction its gazelles

Rule me, their black eyes

أفدي الذي قطع الوصا

ل وحل عقد مكيده

I sacrifice those who cut the ties

And untied the knot of his scheme

وجمعتُ من حبّيه ما

قد لجّ في تبديده

And I collected from my love what

Was scattered in his loss

وعصيت من أضحى يلو

م عليه في تفنيده

And I disobeyed those who began to blame

Him and refute him

أفديه من متدلل

في وصله وصدوده

I sacrifice him from the one self-indulgent

In his union and his distance

هاروت في لحظاته

إبلس بعض جنوده

Harut in his glances

Iblis lost some of his soldiers

أحيا وأتلف في هوا

ه بوعده ووعيده

He brought to life and destroyed in his love

With his promise and his threat
