بِروحيَ مَن مَضَّني وَنفر

لهُ مُقلَةٌ عَلَّمتني السَهر

With my spirit from the one who parted from me and turned away

He has an eye that taught me sleeplessness

إِذا ما نَظرتُ إلى وجهِه

رَأَيتُ عَلى كُلِّ خَدٍّ قمر

Whenever I look upon his face

I see a moon upon each cheek

غَزالٌ من الأُنسِ قَد هَدَّ حَيلي

وَما تابَ عَن فِعلِهِ وَاِعتَذَر

A gazelle of intimacy that has confused me

And he did not refrain from his deed nor apologized

فَقُلتُ لَهُ يا ظَلمُ كَفاك

أَما أَنتَ تَعلم ماذا صَدَر

So I said to him, enough o oppressor

Do you not know what has happened

فَقالَ وَفي جفنِهِ غمزَةٌ

وَلَلهزءِ في مِرشَفيه أَثر

So he said, and in his eyelid is a wink

And on his upper lip the trace of mockery

إِذا لَم أَكُن عارِفاً كلُّهُ

فَعِندي مِن ذاك نِصف الخَبَر

If I do not know everything

Then I know half the matter from that

فَفي كَبدي علَّةٌ من جفاهُ

رَآها طَبيبيَ تَحتَ الخَطر

In my liver there is a sickness from his aloofness

That my doctor saw as dangerous

ملاكٌ وَهل بَعد ذلِكَ ريبٌ

بِأَنَّ فُؤادَ الملاكِ حجر

An angel, and is there any doubt after that

That the heart of an angel is stone
