1. Since my beloved left by fate's decree
My eyes see only dust when gazing on a rose
١. مُذ غالَ حَبيبَتي قَضاءٌ نَفَذا
في عينيَ من تَأمُّل الوَرد قَذى
2. How ignorant was I when told that this would be!
What does the earth bestow? What does it dispose?
٢. ما أَغبنَني وَقيل لي ذاكَ بِذا
ماذا أُعطيَ الثرى وَماذا أَخَذا
