الصبر ثوى لما حجبوا
بدراً قد أذاب هواه الحشى
Patience lay dead when they veiled
a full moon whose love had melted my inmost heart.
قولوا لهموا ما قصد هموا
وهواه لقلب الصب حشى
Ask them what they intended—
and his love is the enamored heart’s very core.
قلبي قلق جسمي شحب
ما بهما قسراً رقشا
My heart is restless; my body has grown wan.
Against their will, the two reveal what lies within.
إني لغريب عندهموا
لو كان بربعي ما بطشا
Indeed, I am a stranger to them both;
had he been in my quarter, they would not have struck so fiercely.
يا قوم خذوا منه قودي
فأنا لرداي أراه بشا
O people, exact from him the vengeance due me,
for I see him rejoicing at my death.
Sol 5.6
