1. قاطَعتُموني سادَتي ما بالُكُم

    وَأَنا الَّذي أَغرى هَواهُ جَمالَكُم

    You have cut me off, my lords—what ails you?

    Yet I am the one whose passion has enticed your beauty.

  2. وَتَرَكتُموني حينَ بانَ وِصالَكُم

    أَشكو الحَريقَ وَفي الثُغورِ رَحيق

    And you left me when closeness to you was gone.

    I lament the burning, while on the lips is nectar.
