أَسَر الهَوى نفسي فَعَذبَها

يَومَ الوِداع فَلَم أَطِق مَنعا

My heart's desire captivated my soul, and tormented it

The day we parted, I could not bear to abstain

فَأذابَ حَرُّ صَبابَتي كَبِدي

وَأسالَها في جُنَّتي دَمعا

So the heat of my ardour melted my inner being

And spilled it, as tears, in my gardens
