لا وَلا في الهَوى يَصِحُّ لِمَن لا

يَتَبَرّا مِن سائِرِ العُذّالِ

No, nor in passion's realm can he succeed

Who shuns all other loves, whate'er his need.

وَأَشَدُّ العُشّاقِ كُفراً فَتىً سا

لِمَ مَن عَه هَواهُ أَصبَحَ سالي

The boldest lover, holding faith most rare

Is he, who sets his heart on one most fair.
