راحَ صَحبي وَعاوَدَ القَلبَ داءُ

مِن حَبيبٍ طِلابُهُ لي عَناءُ

My friend left and my heart's sickness returned

From a beloved whose seeking causes me torment

حَسَنُ الرَأيِ وَالمَواعيدِ لا يُل

فى لِشَيءٍ مِمّا يَقولُ وَفاءُ

Good advice and promises - he does not keep

To anything that he says in faithfulness

مَن تَعَزّى عَمَّن يُحِبُّ فَإِنّي

لَيسَ لي ما حَيِيتُ عَنهُ عَزاءُ

He who finds solace from one whom he loves, I am not

For as long as I live, over him there is no consolation
