1. من ساءَه أن بات في أسر الهَوى

    قَلِقَ الجوانحِ داميَ الآماقِ

    Whoever is grieved to have spent the night in love's captivity,

    Restless of heart, his eye-corners bleeding—

  2. فلقد غدوتُ وقد سَبتني أعيُن ال

    أتراك مَشدوداً أشدَّ وثاق

    For I have indeed become—captured by the eyes of the

    Turks—bound in the tightest bonds.

  3. هامُهجتي فَلتَفعل الأَحداقُ ما

    شاءَت بمَحمولٍ على الأَحداق

    Here is my heart; let the pupils do what

    They wish with one borne upon the pupils.
