Claude 2

  1. ما حيلَتي في المَلُولِ يَظلِمُني

    وليسَ إِن جارَ منهُ لي جارُ

    My woes at parting torment me, when he is harsh,

    No neighbor of mine, if estranged from me.

  2. وِدَادُهُ كالسَّحابِ منتقِلٌ

    وعهدُهُ كالسَّرابِ غرّارُ

    His love is like a rain-cloud, soon to disappear,

    His troth like a mirage deceiving from afar.

  3. آمَنُ ما كنتُ منه فاجأَني

    بغَدْرِهِ والمَلَُدَّارُ

    I trusted him when I should not have done so,

    By his deceit - and I the guileless one.

  4. عَوْني عَليهِ مدامِعٌ سُفُحٌ

    وزَفرةٌ دونَ حَرِّها النّارُ

    My flowing tears are my support against him

    And sighs like fire scorch without flame.
