أَعدَدتِ لي عَتباً بِحُبِّكُمُ

يا عَبدَ طالَ بِحُبِّكُم عَتبي

You have prepared reproaches for me with your love,

O you whose love has prolonged my reproaches!

وَلَقَد تَعَرَّضَ لي خَيالُكُمُ

في القِرطِ وَالخِلخالِ وَالقُلبِ

Your apparitions have indeed accosted me

In earrings, anklets, and heart.

فَشَرِبتُ غَيرَ مُباشِرٍ حَرَجا

بِرُضابِ أَشنَبَ بارِدٍ عَذبِ

So I have drunk, without directly touching, distress

From a chalice of cool, sweet wine.
