أَضافَت إِلَيهِ طُرقَةُ اللَيلِ مافَتاً

ثُباتاً إِذا ظَلَّ الفَتى وَهوَ أَوجَلُ

The night has added confusion

To one who persists though he delays

بَدا بِحَرامِ اللَهِ حَتّى اِستَحَلَّهُ

وَكانَ شِفاءً ثَأرُ نَفسي مُعَجِّلُ

He began by violating sacred law until he permitted it

And my soul's quick vengeance was a remedy
