1. Qays suffers from his love of Lubna, and Lubna
The malady of Qays is love, and love is a grave disease

2. And if one day the old ones return to me
The eye says, I do not see whom I want

3. Would that Lubna might return to me, that I might decide
That she will not return to those who do return

4. Woe to Qays! From her he has taken on
An addled sickness, so staunch is his heart
