أَصبَحَ القَلبُ بِالنَحيلَةِ صَبّا

بَعدَ ما قَد صَحا وَراجَعَ لُبّا

The heart has become youthful with love

After being awake and returning with ardour

زادَهُ مَدخَلُ الوَليدِ عَلَيهِ

وَخَيالٌ سَرى بِعَبدَةَ عُجبا

The entrance of Al-Walid has increased it

And an imagination flowed in Abda with wonder

وَمَقالُ الفَتاةِ إِذ هُتِكَ السَت

رُ لَها عَن مَقالِ ما كانَ عَبّا

And the words of the girl when the veil was lifted

Were difficult for her due to what had happened before

أَيُّها المُستَجيرُ مِن حُبِّ عَبّا

دَةَ إِذ راعَهُ خَيالٌ فَهَبّا

O you who seek refuge from the love of Abda

When an imagination startled and confused him

لَيسَ مِن حُبِّها مُجيرٌ سِواها

بَعدَ ما سارَ في الفُؤادِ وَدَبّا

None can give refuge from her love but her

After it had spread in his heart and crept

يا خَليلَيَّ أَخرِجاني مِنَ الحُب

بِ سَوِيّاً وَلا تَلوما مُحِبّا

O my friend take me out of love

Gently and do not blame a lover

فَاِترُكا لَومَهُ وَلوما خَليلاً

يَتَجَنّى ذَنباً وَلَم يَدرِ ذَنبا

So stop blaming him and do not blame a friend

Who is accused of a sin he did not commit

كُلَّ يَومٍ تَعَتَّبَ الوُدُّ مِنهُ

لَيتَ شِعري أَيُحسَبُ الوُدُّ عَتبا

Every day affection complains about him

I wonder is affection considered complaining?

تِلكَ عَبّادَةُ الَّتي لَم تَنَلهُ

غَيرَ ما أَصبَحَت لِعَينَيهِ نَصبا

That is Abda whom it did not reach

Except it has become a misfortune to his eyes

شَرِبَت سَلوَةً عُبَيدَةُ عَنّي

وَكَأَنّي شَرِبتُ بِالحُبِّ طَبّا

Ubeyda drank a potion away from me

As if I drank love's draught

فَتَقَضّى الرَجاءُ مِنها لَقَد صَد

دَ طَبيبي عَنّي وَقَضَّيتُ نَحبا

So hope in her is over, it has been cut off

My doctor has stopped me and I am in agony

أَنا إِن لَم أَمُت بِذاكَ فَإِنّي

مَيِّتٌ مِن مَخافَتي ذاكَ رُعبا

If I do not die of that, I am

Dead from fearing that terror

لَيتَها تاقَ قَلبُها فَاِستَوَينا

أَو رُزِقنا كَقَلبِ عَبدَةَ قَلبا

I wish her heart would equal mine

Or we were given a heart like Abda's heart

فَصَبَرنا عَنها كَما صَبَرَت عَن

نا وَلَم نَتَّخِذ عُبَيدَةَ رَبّا

So we were patient with her as she was patient

With us and we did not take Ubeyda as a lord

فَاِكشِفي ما بِنا وَعودي عَلَينا

قَد لَقينا إِلَيكِ في الحُبِّ حَسبا

So uncover what is between us and return to us

We have met you in love fully
