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 passion,

    where figures and eyes wreak havoc:

  3. ما عاش من غاب عن ذَرَاك وإن

    أخَّرَ ميقاتَ يوِمهِ الأَجَلُ

    he who is far from your shelter has not lived, even if

    his allotted span delays the hour of his death.
