يا مُقلَةً أُدنِفَت كَما دَنِفتُ

مَرَّت بِنا سَنحَةً وَما وَقَفتُ

O one who moves as I moved

An instant passed us by and I did not stop

وَجَفنُها ساحِرٌ ليَّقتِلَني

فَتُبتُ مِن تَوبَتي الَّتي سَلَفتُ

And her eyelids are sorcerers that would kill me

So I repented from my previous repentance

رَثى لِعَينٍ يَقوى بِلَحظَتِها

كَيدٌ لِإِبليسَ كُلَّما ضَعُفتُ

Woe to an eye whose glance gains strength

A scheming for the devil whenever I weaken
