1. لا وَجُفون يَغضُّها العذَلُ

    عن وَجناتٍ تُذيبُهَا القُبَلُ

    No, by eyelids that reproach lowers

    away from cheeks that kisses melt,

  2. ومُهجة للهوى مُعَرَّضة

    تعيثُ فيها القُدُودُ والُمقَلُ

    and by a heart exposed to love,

    in which figures and eyes wreak havoc:

  3. ما عاش من غاب عن ذَرَاك وإن

    أخَّرَ ميقاتَ يوِمهِ الأَجَلُ

    whoever is absent from your shelter has not lived, even if

    death has delayed the appointed hour of his final day.
