ثَوايَ بِهِ ما بي أَسىً وَصَبابَةٌ

طواها فباتَ البَينُ عنها يُترجِمُ

My nights are filled with sorrow and youthfulness

She kept it hidden, so separation translates from her

فهاجِرُني أَودى بِحُسن تَبَصُّري

وذا جَلَدي نَهبٌ لَدَيهِ وَمَغنَمُ

So migrate from me or I will perish from your perceptiveness

And my skin is prey for it and spoils

لِيَهنِهِم مَثوى الضُلوعِ فإِنَّهُ

سَليمٌ عَلى حُكم الصَبابَة مُسلِمُ

To gladden the abode of ribs, for it

Is safe under the rule of youth, submissive

فَإِن يَكُ تَعذيبُ المُتَيَّمِ في الهَوى

فإِنَّ فُؤادي في هواهُم مُنَعَّمُ

So if tormenting the enamored in passion

Then my heart in its passion is blissful
