حَجَبَ العَمى أَهلَ الهَوى عَن رُشدِهِم

عِندَ القَضاءِ عَلى الشَهيدِ الغائِبِ

The blindness of passion hid from the lovers their right course,

When fate decreed the death of the martyr who was absent.

مَنَعوا اِمتِناعَ المُمكِناتِ بِأَسرِها

وَرَأوا جَوازَ الإِمتِناعِ لَواجِبِ

They denied all possibilities absolutely,

And saw the impossibility of denying an obligation as permissible.
