1. نَسِيمَ الصَّبَا هَلاَّ تَحَمَّلْتَ مِنْ شَجٍ

    سَلاَماً كَأَنْفَاسِ الْحَدَائِقِ مَوْهِنَا

    O breeze of the east wind, will you not carry from one who grieves

    A greeting like the gardens’ breaths, late at night?

  2. وَهُبَّ عَلَى مَنْ حَالَ بَيْنِي وَبَيْنَهُمْ

    سَبَاسِبُ أَوْلَتْنِي الْكَآبَةَ وَالضَّنَى

    And blow upon those from whom I am parted

    By barren plains that have brought me melancholy and wasting illness.
