تَعَدَّ عَنِ الغَرامِ فَلَسْتَ تَقْوَى

على مَا فِيهِ مِنْ كَمدٍ وَذُلِّ

You shun passion, but you lack the strength

To bear such anguish and humiliation.

فَكَمْ مِنْ مُغْرَمٍ قَدْ مَاتَ عِشْقاً

بِمَنْ تَعْنِي وَلَمْ يَظْفَرْ بِدِلِّ

How many lovers have died from love

For the one you love, yet gained no requital.
