لقد طال بي وجدي ولازمني الأسى

وضاقت على المشتاق في حبك السبل

My longing has lingered and sorrow has gripped me,

The roads of your love are too narrow for the ardent lover.

وقد أصبح القلب الكئيب كما ترى

معنى بورّاق وما عنده وصل

And now the heart has become, as you see,

A leaflet of yearning, with no connection.
