قاتلي في هواهُ من غير ذنبٍ

قُلْ لعينيكَ أيّ ذنبٍ لِقَلبي

He kills me with his love though I've done no wrong

Ask your eyes what wrong has my heart done

وسَل السَّمهريّ قدّكَ لِمْ ذَا

خصّني بالغرام مِن دونِ صحْبي

And ask the Pleiades, why is it so

I alone was chosen by love not my friends

مَرَ عُمْري على الصّدود فهل يغلَطُ

دهري بيومِ وصْلٍ وقربِ

My life has passed pining, would fate now err

By granting me one day with my love near
