يَمانِيَةٌ هَبَّت بِلَيلٍ فَأَرَّقَت

حُشَاشَةَ نَفسٍ قَد تَمَنَّى طَبِيبُهَا

A southerly wind blew in the night and deprived

A restless soul whose healer had wished

أَبِينِى إِذا استُخبِرتِ هَل تَحفظُ الهَوَى

أُمَيمَةُ أَم هَل عادَ بَعدِى رَقِيبُهَا

Tell me, if asked, do you keep passion’s remembrance

Umayma or has her keeper returned after me
