1. أفدِي مليحاً في البرايا لم أزل

    طولَ الزمان عليه في وسواسي

    I would give my life for a fair one among mortals; I have never ceased,

    all this time, to dwell on him in anxious thoughts.

  2. قالوا أتقطعه كثيراً قلت من

    راحاتِ قلبِ المرءِ قطعُ الياس

    They said, “Do you often cut him off?” I said, “Among

    the comforts of a man's heart is giving up hope.”
