1. She said: you have gone mad, so I said to her:
Love is greater than what the insane have.
١. قالَت جُنِنتَ عَلى رَأسي فَقُلتُ لَها
الحُبُّ أَعظَمُ مِمّا بِالمَجانينِ
2. Love does not make its companion alert in life,
Rather the lunatic perishes in an instant.
٢. الحُبُّ لَيسَ يُفيقُ الدَهرَ صاحِبُهُ
وَإِنَّما يُصرَعُ المَجنونُ في الحينِ
3. If you knew, when I was absent, my sickness,
And how my eyes stay up, you would not blame me.
٣. لَو تَعلَمينَ إِذا ما غِبتِ ما سَقمي
وَكَيفَ تَسهَرُ عَيني لَم تَلوميني
