إنّيِ وثِقتُ بأمرٍ غَرَّنِي أمَلِي

فيهِ وقد قِيل كم مِن واثِقٍ خَجِلِ

I have trusted in a matter that my hope has deceived me

And it is said how many who trust are disappointed

عادَت إليَّ الأمَانِي مِنهُ آيسَةً

فيا حيَاءَ المنى من خَيبَةِ الأملِ

My hopes in it have returned to me in despair

Oh, the shame of wishes from the frustration of hope
