1. قبَّلتُها أشتَفي بقُبلَتِها

    فزادَني ذلكَ اللَّمى ألَما

    I kissed her, seeking healing in her kiss.

    Yet that dusky hue of her lips increased my pain.

  2. وساءَلتني عَن مُبتَدا سَقَمي

    مُسقِمُ جَفنَيكِ مُسقِمي بهما

    And she asked me about the onset of my illness.

    He who makes your eyelids languid makes me ill through them both.
