كَأَنّي إِذا أَلزَمَتني الذَنبَ لَيسَ لي

كَأَنّي إِذا أَلزَمَتني الذَنبَ لَيسَ لي

لِسانٌ بَلى لَو كانَ غَيرُكَ أَلسَنُ

لِسانٌ بَلى لَو كانَ غَيرُكَ أَلسَنُ

It is as though, when you lay the blame on me, I have no

tongue—yet, were it anyone but you, I would speak eloquently.

تَغيبُ فَأَخلو بِالهُمومِ وَنَلتَقي

تَغيبُ فَأَخلو بِالهُمومِ وَنَلتَقي

خَلاساً فَتَرميني لِذَلِكَ أَعيُنُ

خَلاساً فَتَرميني لِذَلِكَ أَعيُنُ

You are absent, so I am alone with sorrows; and we meet

in secret, and for that, eyes shoot their glances at me.
