1. مسئلة الدار غدتْ

    بيني وبين من أحب

    The question of the dwelling now stands

    between me and the one I love.

  2. لولا مشيبي ما جفتْ

    لولا جفاها لم أشب

    Were it not for my gray hair, she would not have grown cold;

    were it not for her coldness, I would not have turned gray.
