سَأُلزِمُ نَفسي عَنكَ ذَنبَ غَرامي

فَمَن بِدَمي إِن حُمَّ فيكَ حِمامي

I will blame myself for my love for you

For who else is to blame for my passion?

وَنَفسي دَعَتني لِلشَقاءِ كَما دَعَت

عِصاماً إِلى العَلياءِ نَفسُ عِصامِ

And my soul has called me to misery

As the soul of Issa called him to greatness
