فؤادي قد أغواه من بعد رشده

مليح سبى قلبي بنضرة خده

My heart which after sanity he misled

A beautiful one captured my heart with his cheek's radiance

تذللت بعد العز من أجل حبه

وأوحشت بعد الأنس من اجل بعده

I humbled myself after dignity for the sake of his love

And I deserted after intimacy because of his distance

تيقنت أني في الهوى اعدم البقا

إذا لم يجد يوماً بإنجاز وعده

I realized that in passion I missed permanence

If one day he doesn't fulfill his promise

جروحي به عادت كما كان في الصبا

وفرط غرامي طاف عن حد حده

My wounds with him returned as they were in my prime

And my fervent love transcended its extent

بروحي افدي من لها غاية المنى

وهل من عزيزٍ غير روحي فافده

With my soul I ransom the one who has the utmost purpose

Is there anyone more precious than my soul that I ransom

إلى الله من قلبٍ إليه اشتياقه

ومن مهجةٍ ذابت على نار صده

To God from a heart its longing to Him

And from an infatuation that melted for the fire of his closeness

وحق الهوى لا حلت عن شغفي به

وإني له ما دمت حياً كعبده

By the right of passion, my fervor for him hasn't diminished

And I am forever his slave as long as I live

هو الحب يحتل الحشى باقتداره

ومن ذا الذي فيه اقتدار لصده

It is the love that occupies the chests with its power

And who has the power to prevent it

رضيت بما يرضاه من قد هويته

لعله يرضى صادقاً عن موده

I accepted what he accepts, the one I loved

Perhaps he accepts sincerely my affection

سبى قلبي الولهان يوسف حسنه

فمن لي بقلبٍ غيره أو برده

My delirious heart was captivated by the beauty of Yusuf

So who do I have other than it or its consolation

فذلي لديه أصل عزي في الهوى

واصل ثرائي باحتياجي لرفده

My origin of dignity in love is through him

And the origin of my wealth is through needing his help

بنفسي لوا نجد لمن سكن اللوى

لقد ذبت مذ فارقت جنات خلده

By my soul, if glory was for who settled passion

I would have melted since I left the gardens of immortality

وبي مضري أهيف القد مترف

يعير السنى المبدر من نور خده

In me there is something that hurts my tall, well-off pride

Criticizing the one who brings light from the light of his cheeks

مليح صحيح الحسن روض جماله

أرق من الروض الندي وورده

A beautiful one, perfect in beauty, a meadow of his perfection

More comfortable than a meadow and its roses

علوم الرياضيات عن وحي طرفه

وآيات أحكام الغرام بقده

The sciences of mathematics are from the inspiration of his glance

And the signs of the judgments of love from his existence

كفى مانعاً عن وصله سور حسنه

والحاظه في الفتك عن فتك أسده

The fence of his beauty suffices as a preventer

From the deadly blow of his lion-like audacity

شغفت به حباً على غير طائل

لشقوة قلبي بالغرام وكده

I craved him with a fruitless love

To the misery of my heart from fervent love and its toil

وإني على جور الزمان وعدله

كما شاء من أهواه في حفظ عهده

And I am upon the injustice of time and its justice

However he wished, the one I loved, to keep his promise
