لِلْمَنْطِقيِّينَ أَشْتَكِي أَبداً

عَيْنَ رَقيبي فَلَيْتَهُ هَجَعَا

I always complain to rationalists

If only my watcher would sleep

حَاذَرَهَا مَنْ أُحِبُّهُ فَأَبَى

أَنْ نَخْتَلِي سَاعةً وَنَجْتَمِعَا

The one I love avoids him

So we can't meet for an hour

كَيْفَ غَدَتْ في الهَوَى وَمَا انْفَصَلَتْ

مانِعةُ الجَمْعِ والخُلوِّ مَعَا

How did she prevent union and separation

In love all at once
