1. ماذا لقيت بمن أعشت روائحها

    عيني وضاق بها صبري ومصطبري

    What have I suffered from one whose fragrances have dimmed

    my sight, and because of whom my patience and endurance have worn thin!

  2. قستْ وقالت ترى حسني فقلتُ لها

    غطِّي هواكِ وما ألقى على صبري

    She was cruel and said, “Do you see my beauty?” So I told her,

    “Hide your love and what I endure despite my patience.”
