نص القصيدة

يا من هواهُ أعّزهُ وأذّلني

كيفَ السبيلُ إلى وصالك .. دُلني

أنتَ الذي حـَلفتني وحـَلفتَ لي

وحـَلفتَ أنك لا تخون .. فـ خـُنتني

وحلفت أنك لا تميل مع الهوى

أين اليمين..؟ وأين ما عاهدتني..؟

تركتني حيران صباً هائماً

أرعى النجومَ وأنتَ في عيشٍ هني

لأقـُعدَنّ على الطريق وأشتكي

وأقولُ مظلومٌ وأنت ظلمتني

ولأدعون عليك في غَسق الدُجى

يبليكَ ربي مثلما أبليتني

Take me away, my love  To a house that has no doors  Take me away my love  To the moon that guides the forgotten  Leave me in a deep slumber  On a clear, bright day  Until the nights return, along with our loved ones  My love, my lo
