قد براه الحبّ عن قدمه

فاباح الغرّ بالجهل دمه

Love has revealed his secret

So ignorance shed his blood unjustly

كتم الحبّ ليخفى فبدا

عن أنين الشوق ما قد كتمه

Love kept it hidden to conceal

Yet his yearning moans betrayed his secret

عشق البائس يرجو فرجا

صار يشكو بعد ضرّ ألمه

The wretch in love still hopes and waits

Now crying out from his pain and grief

فمتى والحبّ يقضي شططا

ينصف المظلوم ممّن ظلمَه

But when will love stop his excess

And bring justice to the oppressed from his oppressor
