1. With a sincere heart I said, "O my friend
How fares love's fever these days, my friend?"
١. وَخَلِيِّ قَلْبٍ قُلْتُ يَا
خِلِّيَّ مَا حَالُ الشَّجِيْ
2. Mockingly he said with laughter so cold
"Alas for love's fever, that friend of old!"
٢. فَقَالَ لِي مُسْتَهْزِئاً
وَيْحَ الشَّجِيِّ مِنَ الخَلِيْ
