وَقَدَّكَ إِنَّهُ حَسَنُ التَثَنّي

لَقَد أَخَذَ الأَسى وَالشَوقُ مِنّي

You praised him, saying he is good at writing couplets

Indeed, longing and sorrow have taken me

أَقِلني مِن صُدودِكَ أَو تَعَمَّد

فَدَيتُكَ في الهَوى قَتلى تُرِحني

Lessen your aloofness toward me, or do it intentionally

For the sake of your love, my slaying would comfort me

بُليتُ بِساخِطٍ لا شَيءَ أَحلى

إِلَيهِ مِنَ التَعَدّي وَالتَجَنّي

I was afflicted by one angry for no reason

Nothing is more pleasing to him than transgressing and teasing me
