لَمّا نأيتَ نأى الكرى عَن ناظِري

وَصرفته لَمّا انصرفتَ عَلَيهِ

When you went away, my eyes lost sight of all

And when you turned from me, they turned with you

طلبَ البَشيرُ بِشارَةً يُجزى بِها

فوَهَبتُ قَلبي واِعتَذَرتُ إِلَيهِ

The harbinger sought glad tidings to reward him

But I gave him my heart and begged his pardon
