هَل يُلحى في حَملِ ما يَلقى
عُذرِيٌّ أَبدى الصِبا عُذرَه
Does the blame borne ever fade
My youth, forever its excuse made
قَد سَرَّ الحَبيبَ أَن أَشقى
وَأَنا راضٍ بِما سَرَّه
Though my love did joy in my pain
I'm content with what brought him gain
جُفوني قادَت إِلى حَيني
فَثَأري عِندَ مَن يُطلَب
My eyes did lead me where I'm slain
My vengeance lies with whom I claim
دَعوني أَقتَصَّ مِن عَيني
بِسُهدٍ وَعَبرَةٍ تُسكَب
Let me avenge from my eyes twain
With wake and tears poured down as rain
لا عَتبَ وَإِن لَوى دَيني
حَبيبي فَالشَمسُ لاتُعتَب
No blame though he my faith did stain
My love, the sun cannot be blamed
شَمسٌ حَلَّت أَدمُعي أُفقا
فَأَصلى شُعاعُها جَمرَه
A sun whose rays my tears made rain
Its beams did kiss their ember's flame
وَبَدرٌ كَسانِيَ المَحقا
وَحازَ الكَمالَ وَالنَضرَه
A moon did deck me with its reign
And gained perfection and grace
خَمرِيُّ الرُضابِ وَالخَدِّ
دُرِّيُّ الكَلامِ وَالثَغرِ
Wine of cheeks and mouth insane
Pearl of words and lips to gain
نَجمِيُّ الضِياءِ وَالبُعدِ
رَوضِيُّ الجَمالِ وَالنَشرِ
Star of light and distance's bane
Garden of beauty to ordain
سَقيمُ اللِحاظِ وَالوُدِّ
ضَعيفُ العُهودِ وَالخَصرِ
Languid of glance and love's chain
Frail of vows and waist so fain
سَطا لَحظُهُ فَما أَبقى
وَضِعفُ العُيونِ ذو قُدرَه
His look did sweep me nothing remains
Frail eyes their worth do contain
وَأَحرى مَن جانَبَ الرِفقا
ضَعيفٌ كانَت لَهُ كَرَّه
More fitting one who shunned disdains
Though frail, their ire he did obtain
عَبَدتُ الهَوى وَحَرَّمتُ
عَزائي فَلَستُ بِالصابِر
I worshipped passion, hopes refrained
No more patient, I'm in pain
يا سِحرَ الجُفونِ صَدَّقتُ
إيماناً بِالسِحرِ وَالساحِر
O magic of lids, I assented
True faith in magic and magician
دَعاني موسى فَآمَنتُ
بِآياتِ حُسنِهِ الباهِر
Moses called me, I relented
To signs of his beauty's flare
مَبعوثٌ قَد أَعجَزَ الخَلقا
بِأَخذِ النُفوسِ مِن نَضرَه
A prophet whose might all prevented
With capturing souls in his snare
أَتانا فَجَدَّدَ العِشقا
عَلَينا وَنَحنُ في فَترَه
He came and passion reinvented
Upon us languid in despair
بِنَفسي مَن تاهَ وَاِستَكبَر
عَلى الصَبِّ إِذ دَرى أَنَّه
I'll give my soul for one conceited
Who knew youth was a rod that snared
قَضيبٌ في النَفسِ قَد أَثمَر
وَلَكِن ثِمارُهُ فِتنَه
Yet it did fruit and fancies breed
His satisfaction did riches bear
جَرى في رُضابِهِ كَوثَر
وَزُفَّت في خَدِّهِ الجَنَّه
If his mouth showed a lightning speed
My tear's a cloud their flash to wear
إِن أَبدى مِن ثَغرِهِ بَرقا
فَدَمعي سَحابَةٌ ثَرَّه
I tell his poison and concede
Should his mention pass me there
وَأَحكي سُمَيَّهُ صَعقا
إِن مَرَّت مِن ذِكرِهِ خَطرَه
How I've stayed between two nights indeed
Of his hair's tresses and wings bare
كَم قَد بِتُّ بَينَ لَيلَينِ
مِن جُنحِ الدُجى وَمِن شَعرِه
And enjoyed two blisses proceed
From his fragrance and scented air
وَنَجني نَعيمَ زَهرَينِ
مِن رَيحانِهِ وَمِن نَشرِه
And sung between two drunk their deed
Of his glances and wine so rare
وَأَشدو ما بَينَ سُكرَينِ
مِن أَلحاظِهِ وَمِن خَمرِه
We tear modesty's clothes instead
Lovers mad without discretion or care
نَشُقُّ أَثوابَ العَفافِ شَقّا
واشٍ فَنو مَجون بِلا شُهرَه
Or if my faith with passion sped
Remain your lids, wine, and joys to share
أَو إِنُّ دينِ مَع هَوَك كَن يَبقى
جُفونَكَ وَالكاسُ وَأَبو مُرَّه
