1. Burdened the heart for Shadid, whom I had seen
In deep mourning, weeping with reddened eyes
١. كَلِفَ الفُؤَادُ بِشَادِنٍ أبْصَرْتُهُ
في مَأْتَمٍ يَبْكِي بِطَرْفٍ أَدْعَجِ
2. He kept scratching his cheek with his fingers
Until his rose complexion was marred henna-like
٢. ما زال يَخْمِشُ خَدّهُ بِبَنَانِهِ
حتَّى تَنَقَّبَ وَرْدُهُ بِبَنَفْسَجِ
