لِجَّت فُطَيمَةُ مِنكَ في هَجرِ

غَدراً وَهُنَّ صَواحِبُ الغَدرِ

Fatima is hurt by your abandonment

Treacherously, though the treacherous wound

مِن بَعدِ ما أَعطَتكَ مَوثِقَها

أَن لا تَخونَكَ آخِرَ الدَهرِ

After she gave you her pledge

Never to betray you till the end of time

مَكِّيَّةٌ كَالريمِ عُلِّقها

قَلبي فَضاقَ بِحُبِّها صَدري

A Mekkan beauty that ensnares

My heart is too narrow for her love

وَكَأَنَّني أُسقى إِذا ذُكِرَت

صَفوَ المُدامِ عَلى رُقى السَحرِ

It's as if I'm given to drink when she's recalled

The purest wine at the fall of night
