حسب الغواني أنهنّه

حطّمن قلبي حسبهنّه

It is enough for the beauties that they

Have broken my heart, it is enough for them

وبدا نحوس في الهوى

لمّا تألّق سعدُهُنّه

And misfortune appeared in love

When their good fortune shone

فملكن إحساسي عليّ

فطاف قلبي حولهنّه

So they possessed my feelings about me

And my heart revolved around them

صديان لا يشفي صدا

ه سوى اللمى يا ليلتهُنّه

Friends who do not heal the echo

Except the union, O their night

قل للمريضات الجفو

ن رويدكنّ رويدكُنّه

Tell the aloof sick women

Take it easy, take it easy

اللَهَ في مهج برا

ها يا عذارى حبُّكُنّه

God in the mahj of evidence

O virgins, your love

اللَهُ أعطاكنّ فالدن

يا وزينتُها لكنّه

God gave you, so the life

And its adornment for you

رفقاً بأفئدة الشبا

بِ فقد شجاها صدّكنّه

Be gentle with the hearts of the youth

For their aloofness has wounded them

حامت كما حام الفرا

شُ على شقيق خدودكُنّه

They wavered as the moth wavered

Over the apple of their cheeks

لمّا تبدى سربها

نّ اصطاد قلبي سربُهُنّه

When their flock appeared

My heart hunted their flock

لم أدر وا لهفي على

ليلايَ هل هيَ بينُهنّه

I do not know, and my passion for

My nights, are they among them

فنسيت ربّي كيف لا

وسجدت إجلالاً لهنّه

So I forgot my God, how not

And I prostrated in veneration for them

والشاطىءُ الرملي ص

فّق هاتفا فرحا بهنّه

And the sandy beach was

Cheering with joy for them

والموج داعب حينَما

عانقنَهُ أردافهنّه

And the wave flirted when

It hugged their buttocks

يا ليتَهُنّ عرفنني

يا صاح إذ غازَلتُهنّه

I wish they knew me

O friend, when I flirted with them

ما خطبهنّ نفرن من

ي حينما كاشفتُهُنّه

What is wrong with them that they fled from me

When I revealed them

أو ما علمنَ بأنّ لي

قلباً يقدّس طهرهنّه

Or did they not know that I have

A heart that sanctifies their purity
