له مِنّي المَحبَّةُ وَالوِدَادُ

وَلِي مِنْهُ القَطِيعَةُ والبُعَادُ

My love and affection are his

While from him come estrangement and distance

فقلبي لا يُلَائِمُهُ اصْطِبارٌ

وَجفْنِي لا يُفارِقهُ السُّهَادُ

So my heart cannot bear patience

Nor can my eyelids abandon drowsiness

كَلِفْتُ بِحبّهِ صُوفيَّ وَصْلٍ

فَماضِيهِ إِليْهِ لا يُعادُ

I was charged with loving a fickle lover

So the past with him cannot be relived
