قَضِيَّتي في الهَوى وَاللَهُ مُشكِلَةٌ
ضاقَت وَفي حِلِّها ضاعَتِ الحِيَلُ
My case in love is difficult and confusing
It has become narrow, and ways of solving it are lost
يا أَهلَ وُدّي يا خِلانَ ياثِقَتي
ما القَولُ ما الرَأيُ ما التَدبيرُ ما العَمَلُ
O my intimate friends, O my companions in whom I trust
What to say, what to think, what to plan, what to do
