1. I did not put off for one I love my writing,
Whether due to lack of inspiration or ceasing of passion,
١. لَم أُؤَخِّر عَمّن أُحبُّ كِتابي
لِقلىً فيهِ أَو لتركِ هَواهُ
2. Save that when I wrote a book,
My tears overcame my pen and wiped it away.
٢. غَيرَ أَني إِذا كتبتُ كِتاباً
غلبَ الدَمعُ مُقلتي فَمَحاهُ
