يَغالِطُني فيكم هَوايَ فأَنْثَنِي

إِليكُم عَلى إِنكار ما قَدْ بَدَا لِيَا

My heart's desire misleads me about you, so I incline

Toward you, denying what has become clear to me.

كَعَطْفَةِ أُمِّ البَوِّ تَرأَمُ شِلْوَهُ

وقَد رَابَها منْه الّذي لَيس خَافيا

Like a mother camel yearning for her lost baby camel,

Though what became of it is no secret to her.
