لا تلحني ان منحت عشقا
من كان للعشق مستحقاً
Do not blame me if I gave my love
to one who was worthy of love,
ولم يقدم علي خلقاً
ولم أقدم عليه خلقا
who preferred no other soul to me,
and for whose sake I would confront any mortal.
يملك رقي ولست ابغي
من ملكه ما حييت عتقا
He owns my bondage, and I do not seek
freedom from his possession for as long as I live.
لم أر فيمن هويت خلقاً
أعطف منه ولا أرقا
Among all those I have loved, I have seen no soul
more compassionate than he, nor more tender.
Sol 5.6
