أنتَ بما في نفسهِ أعلمْ

فاحكُمْ بما أحببتَ أن تحكُمْ

You know what is in my soul

So judge as you would like to judge

ألحاظُه في الحبِّ قد هَتكتْ

مكتومَهُ والحبُّ لا يُكتَمْ

His glances in love have violated

What I kept hidden, and love cannot be hidden

يا مقلةً وحشيَّةً قتلتْ

نفساً بلا نفْسٍ ولم تَظلِمْ

O savage and cruel beauty that has killed

A soul without soul and has not wronged

قالتْ تَسلَّيتُ فقلتُ لها

ما بالُ قلبي هائمٌ مُغرمْ

She said, I consoled myself, so I said to her

Why is my heart obsessed and infatuated

يا أيُّها الزّاري على عُمرٍ

قد قلتَ فيهِ غير ما تَعلمْ

O visitor for a lifetime

You have said about it what you do not know
