Why am I enamored of a radiant one who gleams,
Who laments love’s burning pains amid the gathering?
ياO وَيليَmy woe قَدindeed أَحرَقَنيhas burned me ذوone with حُرَقٍburning anguish
يا وَيليَ قَد أَحرَقَني ذو حُرَقٍ
ماnot حاليَmy plight إِلّاbut كفَراشlike a moth الشَمعِthe candle

Woe is me! One aflame with anguish has indeed burned me;
My plight is but that of a moth at the candle.
