1. لي فاتنٌ طلب المزيدَ من الهوى

    جهلاً بما القاهُ فاستعفيتهُ

    I have a captivating beloved who asked for more love,

    Unaware of what I endure; so I asked him to excuse me.

  2. فاطال في عتبي الملامَ توهُّماً

    اني بخلتُ زهادةً فعذرتُهُ

    So he went on reproaching me, imagining

    That I held back out of indifference; so I excused him.

  3. لم يعلَمن ان الغرامَ بأسرهِ

    عندي ولو بيدي لزيادة زدتهُ

    He did not know that love in its entirety

    Is within me; and if I could give him more, I would.
