عَلِقَ القَلبُ مَن أَطالَ عَذابي

وَرَواحي عَلى الجَوى وَغُدُوّي

My heart is held captive by he who prolonged my torment

And my soul wanders aimlessly by night and day

وَاِفتَرَقنا في مَذهَبِ الحُبِّ شَتّى

بَينَ تَقصيرِهِ وَبَينَ غُلُوّي

We differed in our ways of loving diversely

Between his shortcoming and my excess

كانَ عِندي أَنَّ الحَبيبَ شَقيقي

في التَصافي فَكانَ عَينَ عَدُوّي

To me he was as a brother, kindred in affection

Yet to my eyes, he became an enemy

ساءَني مُذ نَأَيتُ نِسيانُ ذِكري

فَاِذكُروني وَلَو ذُكِرتُ بِسَوِّ

It pained me when he forgot and neglected my memory

Remember me, even if recalled with disdain
