إِلى اللهِ أَشكُو لا إِلَى النّاسِ أَنَّنِى
قَرِيبٌ وَأَنَّى حاضِرٌ لا أَزورُهَا
To God I make my complaint—not to people—that I am
near, and that, though present, I do not visit her;
وَأَنِّى إِذا ما جِئتُ بَيتَكِ أَرشَقَت
إِلىَّ بَصِيراتُ العُيُونِ وَعُورُهَا
and that, whenever I come to your house, there blaze
toward me the keen-sighted eyes—and the one-eyed among them.
Sol 5.6
