وَلَمّا اِبتَلى بِالحُبِّ رَقَّ لِشكوَتي

وَما كانَ لَولا الحُبُّ مِمَّن يَرِقُّ لي

When he was tested with love, he softened at my complaint,

And he would not have softened for me, had it not been for love.

أُحِبُّ الَّذي هامَ الحَبيبُ بِحُبِّهِ

أَلا فَاِعجَبوا مِن ذا الغَرام المُسَلسَلِ

I love him who is infatuated with his love for me.

Be amazed at this progressive, interlinked passion.
