لا حَظَّ بِالفَوزِ لِصَبٍّ بِكُم

لِغَيرِكُم في قَلبِهِ حَظُّ

No luck in winning for one infatuated with you

For those not you, luck is in their hearts

وَضائِعاً أَصبَحَ رُشدِهِ

مَن مِنكُم لَيسَ لَهُ حِفظُ

Lost is the rationality

Of whoever among you has no restraint

وَبِالتِفاتِ الطَرفِ عَن حُسنِكُم

كَم شاهِدٍ غَيَّبَهُ اللَحظُ

With but a glance away from your beauty

How many a witness has the moment hidden

وَمانَ مَن في غَيرِ مَعناكُم

بِمِدحَةٍ مِنهُ جَرى اللَفظُ

And stayed whoever was not thinking of you

Speaking words of praise

وَلَم يَرُح مُتَّعِظاً بِالهَوى

مَن عَن هَواكُم صَدَّهُ وَعَظُ

And not pitied, warned of passion

Whoever passion for you dissuaded and admonished
