لست أقوى لصده ونفاره
Who will shelter me in my love for a dark-eyed, dusky-lipped beloved?
The beloved has made my heart her home
I cannot bear his rejection and his aversion.
Yet her disdain makes me faint

قد غدا حبةً لفخِّ عذاره
He snared the bird of my heart with a mole
With cruel pride, she shot my heart down
That has become a seed to bait the snare of his cheek-down.
Leaving it prey to her bitter taunt
