أَغَرَّكِ مِنِّي أَنَّ حُبَّكِ قَاتِلِي
وَأَنَّكِ مَهْمَا تَأْمُرِي الْقَلْبَ يَفْعَلِ
“Has it emboldened you to know that your love is killing me, and that whatever you command, my heart obeys?”
A-gharraki expresses reproach in the form of a question: the speaker suspects that his visible suffering and devotion have made the beloved more assured of her power. Qātilī is poetic hyperbole about anguish, not proof of an actual killing.
The second half, mahmā taʾmurī al-qalba yafʿal, uses a condition and its response to depict absolute obedience. The heart is represented as though it were a person receiving commands.
