1. واضيعتي بعد ما جَدَّ النِفار ضحىً

    عن ذي هوىً حظه الممزوج بالكَدَرِ

    Alas for my ruin, after aversion grew intense at midmorning,

    Toward a lover whose lot is mingled with sorrow.

  2. رَشَا تعلقتُه راجٍ مقاطعتي

    حتى تقطعت الأسباب من قَمَري

    A gazelle-fawn I fell in love with hopes to sever ties with me,

    Until the bonds with my moon were broken.

  3. واهاً لأيامنا بالجزع كنتُ بها

    نشوانَ منَ سكَرٍ والآن من فِكَر

    Ah, for our days at the valley bend, when I was

    Intoxicated with wine—and now with thoughts.
