والحُبُّ لَوْلا جَوْرُهُ في حكْمِهِ
ما سَلّم الأَقْوى لأَمْرِ الأَضْعَفِ
And were love not unjust in its rule,
the stronger would not submit to the weaker's command.
لَمْ يُبْقِ لي جِسْماً ولا دَمْعاً فَقُلْ
في مُدْنَفٍ يَبْكي بِدَمْعِ مُدْنَفِ
It has left me neither body nor tears; so speak
of a lovesick man weeping with a lovesick man's tears.
Sol 6.1
