1. أَلَيسَ مُضمَر أَشواقي بِمنكتم

    فَكَيفَ أَغرَيتُمو دَهري بِسَفكِ دمي

    Is not the secret of my longings concealed?

    How, then, did you incite my fate to shed my blood?

  2. وَالجِفنُ حازَ اِنكِسارا ناصِبا لِجوى

    وَعامِل الوُجد أَشقى الحالَ بِالسَقم

    And my eyelid has taken on a droop, giving rise to burning grief,

    And passion's force has made my condition wretched with sickness.

  3. وَاِن راى ناظِري شَخصاً يَعنُفني

    فَاِن سَمعى عَن التَعنيفِ في صَمَمِ

    And if my eye sees someone rebuking me,

    Then my hearing is deaf to rebuke.
