ذَكَرْتُكَ فَارْتَاعَ الفُؤَادُ صَبَابَةً
إِلَيْكَ وَمَالِي مِنْ إِسَارِكَ مَنْفَذُ
I remembered you, and my heart quaked with yearning
For you; I have no escape from your bonds.
ذُعِرْتُ لِفُقْدَانِ الوِصَالِ بِغُرَّةٍ
وَذَلِكَ ذُعْرٌ لَيْسَ مِنْهُ تَعَوُّذُ
I was terrified by the sudden loss of union,
And that is a terror from which there is no refuge.
ذَمَائِيَ مَسْفُوحٌ بِمِدْرَجَةِ الهَوَى
وَقَلْبِي بِنِيرَانِ الصَّبَابَةِ يُنْبَذُ
My remaining life is spilled on passion's path,
And my heart is flung into the fires of yearning.
ذَوَارفُ دَمْعِي بِالدِّمَاءِ مَشُوبَةٌ
وَمَا ذَاكَ إلاَّ أَنَّ قَلْبِي مُجَذَّذُ
My streaming tears are mingled with blood,
And that is only because my heart is cut to pieces.
ذَهَلْتُ عَنِ السُّلْوَانِ وَالحُبُّ آفَةٌ
يَحَارُ بِهَا النِّحْرِيرُ وَهْوَ مُجَهْبَذُ
I have forgotten solace, and love is an affliction
That bewilders the keenest expert, accomplished though he is.
ذَرَانِي فَمَا عَرَّضْتُ للِحُبِّ مُهْجَتِي
وَلَكنْ سِهَامُ الحُبِّ فِي القَلْبِ نُفَّذُ
Leave me, you two, for I did not expose my lifeblood to love,
Yet love's arrows pierce the heart.
ذَوَى زُهْدِيَ اللَّذَاتِ فِيكَ صَبَابَةً
كَأَنَّ انْسِكَابَ المُزْنِ مِنِّيَ يُؤْخَذُ
My renunciation of pleasures withered in yearning for you,
As though the rain-clouds' downpour were borrowed from me.
ذُؤَابُ الأَسَى بَيْنَ الجَوَانِحِ لاَمِعٌ
وَلَيْسَ بَقْلْبِي مِنْ عِذَارَيْهِ مُنْقِذُ
The flame of sorrow gleams between my ribs,
And my heart has no deliverer from his two cheek-locks.
ذَلَلْتُ لِمَحْبُوبٍ هُوَ العِزُّ كُلُّهُ
عَلَى أَنَّنِي فِي ذِلَّتِي أتَلَذَّذُ
I became abased before a beloved who is glory itself,
Yet I take pleasure in my abasement.
ذِمَامُكَ مَحْفُوظٌ وَحَقُّكَ وَاجِبٌ
وَحُبُّكَ مَحْتُومٌ وَأَنْتَ المُنَفِّذُ
Your covenant is kept, and your right is binding,
And love for you is decreed, and you are its enforcer.
