سَطَواتُ هَجرِكِ قَطَّعَت أَنفاسي

وَوَصَلنَ عِندَ تَجَلُّدي وَسواسي

The tyranny of your abandonment has shattered my breath

And my worries have reached me in my pretense of composure

أَنَ مَن إِذا سَتَرَ الهَوى خَوفَ العِدى

فَضَحَتهُ مُقلَتُهُ لَدى الجُلّاسِ

That one who, if he hides his love fearing harm

His eyes expose him to those sitting around

أَأُطيقُ هَجرَكِ وَهوَ لَو حَمَّلتُهُ

رُكنَ الزَمانِ لَما سَرى في الناسِ

Can I endure your abandonment? Even if I were to carry it

To the pillar of time, it would not flow among people

رَفضُ السُلُوِّ هُوَ السُلُوُّ عَنِ الصِبا

وَالصَبرُ تَركُ الصَبرِ تَحتَ الياسِ

Refusing solace is the solace from youth

And patience is abandoning patience beneath despair
