لقد زرت من أهوى وقد زار آخر

به مهجتي مفتونة وأنا حبّ

I gazed upon whom I loved, though another did come

My heart was enamoured, yet still I did shun

مسحت جبيني باللبان فقال لي

مشيراً لبيتٍ ما جرى بيننا عتب

He wiped my brow gently, reproach in his voice

For what had gone on in the home we once shared
