يا من كتمت هواه خوف فراقه

جسمي به أودى السقام فراقه

O you who concealed your love fearing its loss

My body was made ill by its loss

وارحم محبا في الغرام إليك قد

جذبته أيدي الشوق من أطواقه

Have mercy on a lover consumed with passion for you

Whom the hands of yearning have pulled from his chains

عن حاله أضحى يترجم دمعه

وبيت ما بلقاه من أشواقه

He communicates his state through his tears

And the home he never found due to his longings

قسما به لا ملت عنه سلوة

ولئن لسوت فلست من عشّاقه

I swear by it I'll never tire of it

And if I'm silent it's not due to my lack of passion

من لي به ساجي اللحاظ مهفهف

هاروت يروي السحر عن أحداقه

Who will be my night companion with roving glances

A celestial pouring magic from his eyes

لم انس طيفا زارني منه وقد

مد الظلام عليه ظل رواقه

I've not forgotten a specter who visited me though

Darkness had cast its shadow down his corridor

وغدا يعاطيني كؤس حديثه

ممووجة منه بطيب عناقه

And in the morning he offers me a cup of his talk

Frothy from his sweet embrace

ثم انتبهت وفي فمي من ثغره

آثار طعم الراح من ارايقه

Then I awoke with traces of the scent of comfort

Still on my mouth from his retreat

وعليه قد دلت شمائله كما

دلت محاسنه على اخلاقه

And his traits point to him as surely as

His beauty points to his morals
