1. وَتَعذُبُ لي مِن غَيرِها فَأُعافُها

    مَشارِبُ فيها مَقنَعٌ لَو أُريدُها

    And sweet to me, from others than her—yet I spurn them—

    Are sources of drink that would suffice, if I desired them.

  2. وَأَمنَحُها أَقصى هَوايَ وَإِنَّني

    عَلى ثِقَةٍ مِن أَنَّ حَظّي صُدودُها

    And I grant her my utmost love, although I

    Am certain that my lot is her turning away.
